I’ve never been in a parking garage that has a bathroom. But that’s not what this sign means. Allow me to translate for you… “Don’t pee in this garage!”
WHAT?
Why would you need a sign for this?
The City of New Orleans has a very liberal open container law. And when ya drink a lot, ya gotta pee a lot. Yet despite the tolerance towards drinking, there is little tolerance toward public urination – and with good reason I might add. Many merchants post signs that say restrooms are for customer only. Or even worse, there are no public restrooms at all. So what’s a person who’s doing the tinkle dance to do? Enter the parking garage…

It is understandable that traveling abroad will require one to eat foods that are, how shall I say… not customary in the United States. However, I never thought these moments of gut-wrenching dining would occur in the United States, until last June.
I was near the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. When work was complete, our group suggested we have dinner at a popular, Louisiana-style restaurant just off-campus.

I was invited to attend a wedding today. The invitation said 5:00 P.M. I left the house at 4:07 p.m., anticipating arriving there at 4:45. It was a small wedding and I was going alone so I didn’t want to get there too early and sit by myself. When I left the house I got stuck in traffic that was out of the ordinary for a Wednesday. Afraid of arriving late, I called my friend Katie who is a wedding planner in North Carolina.
