Hundreds of people gathered in the central Kansas town of Lucas to take part in the grand opening of the town’s quirky new public restroom.

Organizers said the Bowl Plaza Grand Opening was the culmination of a four-year dream to build a downtown restroom in Lucas. But Bowl Plaza, built with the help of a grant from the state Department of Commerce, never was intended to be a typical restroom.

The rectangular men’s and women’s building is shaped like a toilet tank, and the oval-painted entrance resembles an upraised toilet seat lid.

The Salina Journal reports that the walkway to and from the restrooms is shaped like an unfurling toilet paper roll.

The daylong event Saturday included a toilet seat toss and Tubular Olympics with empty toilet paper rolls.
