MINNEAPOLIS — One thing you can say about CBS This Morning co-host and Oprah bestie Gayle King: When she likes something, she is NOT shy about telling folks about it.
Take the bathrooms at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, for instance. Widely recognized as among the best at any airport, anywhere (the MSP lavatories won top honors in the 2016 Americas Best Restroom Contest), the biffs drew rave reviews from King as she flew in as part of the network's coverage of the Jayme Closs case.
King posted three Instagram videos on her account lauding the MSP Bathrooms. The first noted that the doors open OUT, giving the visitor more spacious quarters. She talked to a traveler named Sherri who agreed wholeheartedly.
"I just came on a very, very long trip and I'm like 'look at how beautiful these bathrooms are," Sherri told her new friend Gayle. King also noted the baby changing stations and the handicapped accommodations.
"Minneapolis-St. Paul Wow! Wow, wow, wow," King raved.
In the second video King's friend Sherri commented on the beautiful mural gracing one wall of the bathroom, with Sherri saying the artwork made her feel welcome and comfortable. King said the painting definitely deserves an A-plus.
The third video was a comparison piece shot after the CBS morning anchor arrived home in New York. She tried to drag her carry-on into a bathroom stall with a door that opens IN and got stuck, before barely squeezing into the space. "Practically turning into a pretzel, I still can't close the door. As compared to Minneapolis, where the door opens out that way, and you don't have to do the jujitsu moves just to sit down."
It must have been a woman who designed that bathroom," King insisted. "I rest my case."
