Kim, the facilities on Lark street were cramped and outdated. The new facility on Central is about 10x the size of the old space and brand spanking new.

Hah, I wondered why I wasn't getting any conversions from that ;) Thanks exile.
Some really interetsing links this time around, I like Jackie's photos, the exiles' day trips are always interesting, and Paula's monument is something to see.
