It's one of the worst feelings in the world. You're out and about in public, and..." duty calls" Now you need to find a restroom, and FAST. It's sometimes even more urgent if you have little ones with you. With more people finally getting out and coming downtown to eat, drink, shop, and be merry in beautiful downtown Portland, we thought it might be helpful if you knew where to find the quickest restroom. Some of the city restrooms are currently closed because of COVID, but there are still plenty all around the peninsula.

Thanks to Portland Downtown for the info. It could save your life....or at least your next visit to Portland!

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

KEEP READING: Here are the most popular baby names in every state

Using March 2019 data from the Social Security Administration, Stacker compiled a list of the most popular names in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C., according to their 2018 SSA rankings. The top five boy names and top five girl names are listed for each state, as well as the number of babies born in 2018 with that name. Historically common names like Michael only made the top five in three states, while the less common name Harper ranks in the top five for 22 states.
