It’s the spot to meet up with friends, a date or just to head out solo.  Make sure you stop by and check out whatever is planned for the “adult” art’s and crafts project.  I can’t remember the last time I witnessed so many people coloring and gluing at one time.  It’s a fun and inspiring way to showcase your creative side!
