Visitor reviews
“Came here as a break from the fort circuit. The inauguration was covered live; the rest, not at all.”
“Visited because my landlord would not stop talking about it. It is the long way round, sanctioned as a shortcut.”
“Went to photograph it before they either finish it or knock it down. There is more signage pointing to it than there is of it.”
