A sunny, tree lined street with brick buildings and a concrete sidewalk. Next to the trees, which are about 20 feet tall, a 4 foot tall basalt rock stone stands next to the tree's direct. Three large paned windows break up the brick and show a darkened interior. Only thing visible in the window and door is a yellow neon light, hung at a diagonal on the well. Next to the glass door, letters spell out
