Minnesota's Most Popular Tourist Destination

You probably thought the Mall of America or maybe the Metrodome, or perhaps even the downed I-35 bridge would be the biggest attraction in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, but no, it's Larry Craig's bathroom at the Minneapolis airport:

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — When you go to Minneapolis, you might put the Mall of America, the statue of Mary Tyler Moore or maybe even the zoo on your list of things to see.

Now tourists are asking about a new destination in the Twin Cities, says Karen Evans, information specialist at the information counter at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

A common request is, "Excuse me, can you please tell me where the Larry Craig bathroom is?"

Evans was just 15 minutes into her shift Friday afternoon and already had heard the request four times.

"It's become a tourist attraction," Evans said with a smile. "People are taking pictures."

Maybe you can even go in the stall and get your picture taken with the cop next door.
