Really beautiful shots of a beautiful place, taj334!


Thank you so much for the comment. It was so much fun. I felt like a kid in a candy store. The place really is amazing and knowing a few tidbits about it makes it even more endearing.

They left one square in the original condition as a reminder of what time and cigarettes can do.
