Very small and cramped and no ultra fine sharpies. The one I went to this morning is only a year or so old but looked like something in bombed out Ukraine. The support posts inside were raw concrete and the tile was missing around them.

My area used to be considered middle class. Not rich, not poor.

Things have gone to hay-ell.
