Any port in a storm... We were driving through New Mexico last week, and saw the Necessary as we pulled off Interstate 10.

No Key Needed was painted in five inch high letters, but as I got closer, it was apparent that this was indeed, false advertising. LOL

I'm Mike in Tucson, your preferred Tucson, Arizona mortgage lender.

Think of me as your local expert...Looking for the next exit

I have a handle on your market!!!

Looks like you had a choice to make --- finish the offer or walk away from the deal. Noticed they have a different way of designating the "male" door. Lots of fun. Hope you didn't have to negotiate very long.

Originally did not need a key but after repeated misuse they decided a key would control the problem. Too ofter we mess up a good thing when others don't treat the offering the way they should.

That is perplexing as they advertise the restroom to death, dress it up, and then deny you access. Its not just a simple entry lock on the handle but a padlock! Maybe they had it locked up for the yearly cleaning.

I wonder if you got the key by buying something? Did you suggest saving a lawsuit by switching to combination locks? LOL
