Longwood Gardens wins America's Best Restroom

Talk about bragging rights.
Not only is Longwood Gardens the most visited public garden in America, now, its eco-friendly toilets have been crowned "America's Best Restroom."
An early leader in an online contest, Longwood's inspiring Green Wall, containing 47,000 different plants representing 25 species, flushed nine other finalists, contest organizer Cintas announced Wednesday.
"The team at Longwood has proven it understands the value of a restroom that's creative and memorable for guests," John Engel, Cintas' senior marketing manager, said in a statement. The Cincinnatti-based uniform and restroom supplier has held the contest for 13 years. No Delaware toilet has ever been nominated.
Thousands of voters cast their ballots online. Bowl Plaza in Lucas, Kansas, featuring restrooms decorated with murals of found objects, took the second spot. The Fabulous Fox Theater in St. Louis, Missouri, with its stately and ornate toilets, came in third.
