DON-- The Barbary Coast//Hoyt Hotel in Portland, OR Owned//Sponsored the Petticoat Junction TV series.

If you visited the Hotel and had a strong desire to eliminate some of your bodily functions, you would have journeyed down to the Mens & Womens restrooms which were World-famous... For example:

"Walter Cole, the Portland resident and female impersonator better known as Darcelle XV, recalled the Roaring 20's Room in Sharon Knorr's book, Just Call Me Darcelle. According to Darcelle, the ladies' restroom had a full-time harpist; the men's restroom included a 12-foot (3.7 m) long trough urinal decorated like a rock grotto, featuring miniature forest animals that served as targets. Darcelle recalled, "[There was also a] life-sized replica of Fidel Castro... If a gentleman could hit that open mouth, lights would flash, sirens would go off and a huge waterfall would flush the entire urinal."

Cheers, Sir...
