August 6, 200618 yr excellent pictures! P.S. 1 is interesting, to say the least. I revisited it last summer after many, many years. The biggest problem was finding it again! Even when I got off at the subway stop closest to it (a grimy elevated station), I walked around in a disoriented state for a good twenty minutes on a quiet Sunday afternoon in a neighborhood which (at least at that location) is what could be called "eclectic" at best and which is rather unpopulated during that time of week (the only person I encountered before getting to my destination was the security guard in the looming Citicorp building). P.S.-P.S. 1's cafe has some of the best iced coffee I've ever had! http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
