Now that the South Station women's room is airport class, how about the Back Bay men's room?

On the plus side, as Ninth discovered yesterday, the current conditions reduce the odds of stuffed up sinks flooding the floors.

*shiver*
I'm a guy so I can stand up when i go.. but even *I* shiver at going into the Men's Room at BackBay. I'll walk over to the Copley/Pru (or use my doctors office next door)
I think the only bathroom that is worse is the Men's Room at Macy's in Downtown Crossing because its down a long hallway, and often has questionable people (read: junkies) in there. I went in there once (the last time I went) and I had to tell a staff person at Macys that someone was lying on the floor in a stall puking on himself so they could call BPD... classy!
Oh, yeah, that long walk to the Macy's men's room
One advantage it has over Back Bay: No diesel smoke so thick you can slice it with a knife.
There is a worse one.
If you ever go to Malden, check out the men's room in Malden City Hall. You'll wish you didn't.
Unbelievable
I can't believe Lonely Planet hasn't snapped you up to write tourist guides yet.
Nah...
I don't have the social skills to do that... ;-)
The old South Station Women's Room...
...is now the temporary Men's Room. There are about 15 stalls, a few with no door for those who have to just stand & deliver.
Health Code Violations?
Are there any health code violations for the lack of soap and towels/air? I took one step in and walked right out last time I tried to use that restroom about a month ago.
Outsource the maintenance for the task. Not staff for the task.
The solution is development of better maintenance service programs. For example, develop a company that maintains proper nontoxic cleaners, tools and neat uniforms offering great training and excellent opportunities... white uniforms that express the conscientious sense of pride in the work. Nontoxic cleaners and tools that the maintenance activities can be accomplished with the minimum effort. This service goes around the city, public libraries, museums, public facilities with great frequency at each location. Folks take pride in being associated with the enterprise because excellent training and opportunities are available. The main mission of the company being the training, educational opportunities, etc. for folks employed that they can develop other future employment as they wish. Then the City, the museums can get this company for maintaining lavatories more frequently rather than their own staff with toxic cleaners not properly prepared for the task.
how can someone steal a *sink* and not get noticed?
Noticed they were...
... by observers who couldn't possibly care less.
Apathy is the ruler of the South Station facilities. And for whatever reason, Inspectional Services can't do squat there.
Looks a little too neat to be
Looks a little too neat to be a theft. I'd guess it's a stalled renovation project.
Nuke it from orbit! Just to
Nuke it from orbit! Just to be sure....
Back Bay is a disgrace
Junkies and perverts scare the s***t out of anyone using the men's room. Warn parents not to let their children to use the restrooms. If you can't keep the rest rooms safe how is it possible to keep the whole station safe. The problem is the police don't care I bet they don't event know about the stolen sinks
Police
I guess the police were too busy with their other duties at Back Bay.

The Back Bay men's room is a portal to the NYC subway circa 1976
It looks like it belongs in a deleted scene from Taxi Driver. Nothing quite like walking in to see a 50-something homeless guy openly masturbating in the middle of a dingy, decrepit restroom.*
* To be fair, I reported him to the cops, but he was gone by the time they went in.
Same thing
As the guy taking pictures of little kids eating on the subway, you don't have a camera in your hands when going into a men's room.
Dude, whatevs
The guy who took the photo of the kid eating a bagel isn't the same guy who took the sink photo.
