An amazing space. The exhibitions were all beautifully laid out and presented; the three that were there when I visited were a collection of local art by Nellie Ashford, a quilt-centric exhibit, and woodworks by Avelino Samuel and John Muscoll. The latter exhibit was especially incredible, both in terms of the virtuosic beauty of the objects themselves and in the delicate way they were arranged and mounted; it was especially great that after wandering and reading enough, one could tell which objects were Muscoll's and which were Samuel's at a glance. Though to be honest the choice of ambient music was kind of corny.

There was also an event going on, with delicious chicken wings and fantastic live music. Be warned that there is not always an event going on with delicious chicken wings, and that if you go at any time without such an event and expect chicken wings, you will be disappointed. It does seem that such events happen somewhat regularly, though.

Shout out to my man Herman (Hermann?); it was an honor to be your floater. Also to the cute girl selling sunglasses for whatever reason, and to the man trying to get elected to some office or other - good luck! At least, as long as your policies aren't terrible.
