Visitor reviews
“Stopped here to wait out a downpour and stayed by choice. It is amenable, at present, mostly to pigeons.”
“Went looking for the entrance for a solid ten minutes. The design won an award; the execution is still under consideration.”
“Arrived by auto and the driver refused to wait, which should have been a sign. You can see straight through the transparency of the tender.”
