Does it matter? Attrill's taste is clearly impeccable. I was just at Map room a couple weeks ago. I love that place.

Thanks!

I live within a 15 minute walk of Map Room and Quenchers, and work within a 15 minute walk of Hopleaf. It's a dangerous combo. I think I need to consult a financial advisor about how to deal with the new beer tax.

It's amazing how much the neighborhood has changed since that photo was taken. I love that building, too. The level of detail on it that the photo doesn't quite capture is amazing.

I think I will go out and take my own pics. I think the facade has been deep cleaned since then. Also, I think the building looks much better at night.
