Former bathroom turned into eatery

A former public bathroom in an historic Boston park is being turned into a sandwich shop.

Yuk! Don't get grossed out. The project is a chance to preserve the historic mausoleum-like structure while bringing new life to the Common.

The 660-square-foot "Pink Palace" on Boston Common built in the 1920s hasn't been used as a restroom in decades.

City officials have announced that they have agreed to a 15-year lease with the Florida-based Earl of Sandwich chain for a takeout operation at the site. The goal is to open the shop later this year or early next year following renovations.
