The idea of converting the aging gothic-style "Pink Palace" at Boston Commons and a grungy closed-up restroom called the Duck House in the Back Bay Fens neighborhood will be presented to lawmakers at a Statehouse meeting Tuesday by the city's Parks and Recreation Commission staff, the Boston Herald reports.

Bill Clark of Newport, R.I., said he wouldn't have a problem with it because it hasn't been a toilet for a long time. "They could have two sides to the restaurant -- men and women -- and a lot of railings," he quipped.
