Well Vid - see my comments above and obviously we disagree. Personally I think that there is too much in this building and definitely blows from Cumberland. But then again, each to his own.

BTW, I thought is wasn't finished until around '92 as I seem to have a vague memory of the Dippers being there for the opening. Then again, I drink way too much so I could be wrong.
