ALBUQUERQUE COULD SOON HAVE A DOWNTOWN “LOO.” IT’S AN IDEA FROM CITY COUNCILOR ISAAC BENTON, WHO BOUGHT THE “LOO” AT AUCTION IN SAN DIEGO FOR 20-THOUSAND DOLLARS. HE SAYS THE MONEY FOR THE LOO CAME FROM HIS “SET ASIDE” FUND FOR DISTRICT PROJECTS.
BENTON SAYS IT’S HARD FOR PEOPLE TO FIND A PUBLIC BATHROOM DOWNTOWN AFTER HOURS. HE’LL MEET ON THURSDAY WITH CITY OFFICIALS AND DOWNTOWN STAKEHOLDERS TO TALK ABOUT WHERE TO PUT THE BRITISH-STYLED BATHROOM. SOME POSSIBILITIES INCLUDE NEAR THE LIBRARY AT 5TH AND COPPER OR THE ALVARADO BUS STATION.
