We love 3 Floyd’s. You love 3 Floyd’s. We go through a lot of 3 Floyd’s. To celebrate 3 decades, 3 Floyd’s brewed an extremely limited batch of anniversary ale. It’s a strong ale, weighing in at 10% ABV. Only 14 barrels, 10 are in Indiana. We have one. Get yourself in here to enjoy a 10oz pour and celebrate 30 years of phenomenal pours. Cheers!

Let’s talk about our controversial new neighbor, a public toilet! It’s apparently the end of Evansville, despite the fact most major cities here and abroad have such things.

Contrary to popular belief, rest rooms like ours at Arcademie are not public. Restrooms in restaurants, bars, venues, and offices are for the use of customers or employees. So, until this one came along, there were no public restrooms in Evansville.

This new public toilet was paid for using interest on Covid-relief funds. It cost $275,000 – which seems like a lot for a toilet – but it also required quite a bit of site prep and infrastructure. Building things is costly (support local, cough cough). [QUICK FACT CHECK CORRECTION - this was paid for with funds from the Terra Haute casino, not with COVID Funds. This was noted in the original release but the funding came from the casino instead. We’re noting it here as comments below focus on the COVID funds]

It’s conveniently located at the corner of Sycamore and NW 6th St, the busiest intersection downtown, according to the Master Plan’s traffic research. Why the Mets station has never had one, we’ll never know but this is for everyone to use. We’ve got plenty to say about the Mets station, but we’ll save that for another post.

As for the “Why?", downtown businesses and residents have been dealing with human waste for YEARS. It is a biohazard, and it really wrecks your day when it’s the first thing you encounter in the morning. Or in the afternoon. Or late at night. Pretty much any time you cross paths with it, and it’s especially nasty when you’re the one that has to deal it up. Thankfully “Keep Evansville Beautiful” has done a tremendous job responding to calls the last few years.

All of the property owners and residents downtown agreed to form an Economic Improvement District years ago, approving an additional annual percentage to their property taxes. Funds from the EID, not city taxes, will maintain the restroom.

The biggest concern about it seems to be what will go wrong with it, as if it’s just for the homeless, or drug users, and so on.

We don’t know the personal details of who’s been blasting our dumpster bay – Evansville’s slightly older public toilet? – all these years, but we’ve caught a few people in the act back there. And let’s just say it’s particularly active after shows at the Ford Center.

When we photographed a few guys peeing on our wall and the neighbor’s wall, they yelled “Bro, why you doing me like that?” And we were like “Why you doing us like this?” while making some additional fun anatomical remarks. Then they ran off down the alley pulling their pants up. That was a fun night. We have pictures! But now they at least have a place to go!

This long overdue public toilet is a win for everyone really.

Come have a look, and, since we're in the bathroom game too, stop by and we'll help fill you up with drink and food!
