Seriously. You should go. For the mere entertainment /people-watching value.
I thought Oakville was an affluent community....apparently there are some hidden trailer parks that no one knows about. Actually, I am stereotyping, because they were all in Honda Odysseys, Toyota Siennas and SUV's. Cheapest car or van was about $40,000. Very odd.
Now let's talk about the "facilities". Most people have a fear of heights, or a fear of bugs, or snakes.....I, my friends, have a fear of toilets.
I don't like using toilets that are missing water. This includes buses, planes, trailers, port-a-potties, or camping vault toilets. I would rather go outside behind a tree. I have flown about 100 times and I have yet to use the lavatory. I will stop drinking water before the flight so I never have to go.
I need to establish "toilet trust". Before I use a toilet at a friend's house, I need to know if it has ever overflown. If it has, I use the one that hasn't.
I always close the toilet seat, because I don't want to see it flush. If the water comes up too high, it freaks me out.
I don't know where this neurosis started - but I remember being very young and refusing to use my aunt and uncle's toilet in their trailer. Hmmmmmmm. Things are starting to come full circle with this entry.
ANYHOW.
The bathroom was HORRIFIC in this place.I doubt any staff member has ever cleaned a toilet, washed the floor, or stepped foot inside that washroom. The rubber floor boards were all peeling down onto the floor, exposing the glue behind them. I think the smell in there was the cause. If anyone has seen the movie Trainspotting, you can start to imagine what I am talking about.
Ok...well it wasn't that bad. But it was bad by North America's standards.
Once we were outside in the car, eating crap...and by crap, I mean deliciousness.....it was a fun night. My date, Andrea, fell asleep halfway through the movie, but I couldn't blame her since it was Shrek the 3rd. Other options were Spiderman 3 (gay) or Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (shoot me in the face).
I'd go again, but I would make sure to pee somewhere else before I pay my admission. I would also choose to see a non-kid movie. I would try the drive-in downtown at the Docks too. Um, and I would bring a boy. Any takers?

OMG, I would say me too, but I unfortunately had to use it on the way out to Jordan last year... It was the whole having Celiac disease thing. I would have held it, but I ***HAD*** to go.
Ugh, I never want to use one ever again. AND OMG, I'll see if someone has pictures of the cans in Jordan. They were almost as bad as that photo you posted.
They should make portable toilets that fit in one's purse and expand at the push of a button. I would SOOO buy one of those.
I seriously did not know you were this nuts! ... maybe you and Jillian can book a 2 for 1 visit to see a guy with a couch and talk about these problems ...
