I get the feeling that this one’s been tampered with a bit. Check out the clunky pre-Photoshop additions of “Swimming”, “Coffee Shop” and “Office”. In fact, I’m not 100% sure this place existed in this form at all , with a faux Capitol dome and everything.
Anyone know? Did it really have “Food You’ll Remember”?
