Minturn's Public Restrooms Named Best In The Nation

MINTURN, Colo. (CBS4) - The Town of Minturn won the 2015 Cintas' Best Restroom Contest on Tuesday.

America decided Minturn's outdoor public restrooms, resembling the entrance to a Rocky Mountain mine shaft, are the best in the country.

The restroom was created with the idea of functional art: a creative design that can be utilized by the community.
