Public convenience?

Since WW1, Melbournians have had access to fairly ornate (for their day) underground toilets dotted around the CBD. Apparently they are no longer heavily patronized despite being very expensive to maintain. So, the City Council is seeking expressions of interest in private enterprise buying the facilities for, perhaps, re-birthing as different entities. Studio Apartments, Shoe repair shops, Bars ... or, even mini-Restaurants (!) have been mooted as possibilities, subject to Council by-laws and the fact that one or two of the redundant properties are Heritage listed.

In view of their functional purpose over the past century, the mind boggles when pondering possible business names which might be attached to any new commercial undertakings...
