Granted, they spend a lot of time there in bumper to bumper slow moving traffic, so there really isn't much positive reinforcement going on.

So far, it's been pretty cool. There are thousands and thousands of people who have driven by this daily and yet have no idea how big this place truly is or anything about it.
