thanks, kitleigh.

we went there with rudy and louie years ago. i think it may be dangerous for
rocky, as he goes walk about. plus, he scares easily, so he'll get into a
barking match with the homeless people.

also, i would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that if folks walk around there, they go in
groups of 3 or more. just for safety.
