lancetkenyon Report post Posted April 1, 2020 Been closed since 3-21-20. Sucks. I am usually there 3 weeks a month minimum. To be honest, I think it is stupid. The benches are about 8-10' apart, plenty of room to distance yourselves, no physical interaction with staff/volunteers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
