“Linear Community” Forms Outside Point Reyes' Only Public Restroom

Though many visitors are shocked to discover that West Marin’s marquee hamlet has only one available toilet, local leaders point to the bonds being forged in its impressive queue. “It starts with common ground. Whether they identify as a ‘one’ or a ‘two,’ everyone in that line speaks with one voice,” said the town’s mayor. “Hurry up.” Critics like Hue Bilstein, however, say the culture around the bottleneck has begun to splinter, with radical off-shoots now convening behind the Old Western Saloon. "So far, they're all 'ones,' but that won't last forever," he said.
