The Dirty Sink

The Dirty Sink is a roadside attraction outside Kingston, Eastshield. The attraction is a sink that was put in a field one day in the 1960s. Since then, the sink has become very dirty because no one bothered to clean it. In the 1980s, the field was bought by an investor trying to make some money out of it, and it was turned into a tourist trap off the main road. A parking lot, a museum, and a gift shop were constructed, and money was quickly made. Today, the Dirty Sink is known in the Kingston area for the billboards it has put up on the side of the road and attracting a crowd of tourists from all around the United States of Antarctica.

Background
In 1964, a local farmhouse was being renovated. When the bathroom sink was being replaced, it was put into the field where it stayed there around twenty years. The Dirty Sink Museum claims that many interesting things happened during this time, such as the sink being used as a place where a gang of bank robbers stashed their money, or a wizard cast a spell on it to give it magical properties. It is confirmed that it was stolen in 1979, but after the thief realised that it was nothing of value that decided to return it. In the time before the sink was put in the field and the investor buying the field, the sink became very dirty. By 1981, the taps had rusted over, and the bowl was covered in grime. In 1895, an investor by the name of Roderick Roosevelt bought the field that the sink stands on, hoping to make money off it. He started by constructing a sprawling parking lot in the space between the field and the main road. Next, he had a museum and a gift shop constructed. The sink itself was moved onto a dais to emphasise its status, with a large sign behind saying "The Dirty Sink" it in order show its location. A clean sink was also installed, to show the comparison between the dirty sink and a clean sink. Next, Roderick had billboards put up all around the area on the sides of roads to attract tourists. This advertising campaign worked, as now thousands of curious tourists visit the Dirty Sink every year.

Locations
When one enters the precinct of the Dirty Sink, they will drive into the massive parking lot, it is mostly empty, except on holidays when more penguins are willing to stop at roadside attractions. Behind the parking lot stands the dais with the two sinks: the titular dirty sink, and a clean sink for comparison. A colourful red and yellow sign with "THE DIRTY SINK!" written on it stands behind the dais. Tourists can often be see photographing the sink, or posing for selfies next to or in front of it. To the left side of the dais is the gift shop. This is where merchandise such as miniature dirty sinks, dirty sink fridge magnets, and real sinks that a have been painted to look dirty are sold. The gift shop also must be passed though in order to exit. The gift shop is a large white box shaped building and is one floor high. It is mostly aisles, with the checkout at the back by the parking lot exit. It is the biggest building on the grounds, even bigger than the museum to the right of the dais. The museum contains photographs of the sink through the ages, samples of the grime and rust (in glass cases), and documents of the supposed things that have happened during the sink's history. The museum is one floor high and unlike the gift shop it is red and has a slightly slanting roof. Behind the dais and the sign is the office. This is where the managers work and the security guards report to. The office is two floors high, with the top floor being smaller than the ground floor, and is painted white with a grey flat roof. On the bottom floor there is a lounge and the security guards' offices. The manager's office is on the top floor.

Trivia

 * The current owner of the Dirty Sink is so paranoid that someone might clean the sink that they hired security guards to make sure that does not happen.
 * Many health inspectors have attempted to give orders to get the roadside attraction shut down. So far, all attempts have failed due to various loopholes.
 * Many penguins have tried looking for the farmhouse that the sink originates from. So far it has not been found.
