Never went there... colleague tried to get me to go, but I was never in the mood. The guy raved about the place, then the next couple times he went, he said it sucked.
The place next door, Fernandos, has some hippie donut joint inside... horribly overpriced, tiny donuts...
African American History Center is failing because all the guilty white liberals made their obligatory visit early on and the blacks in town are ignoring it. Waste of a perfectly good parking lot that it replaced.
I’m sure that they’ll get subsidized and propped up with tax dollars to keep it open even though no one goes there...
Some were raving about the donuts in FUR-nando’s, as he retitled it, but I didn’t try any. But the Italian sub wasn’t bad. A quick get-in, eat, get on your way place (Furnando’s). Golden Palace buffet around the corner
on Smithfield St (Chinese) was good. Hit them twice.

I figured I’d catch it to see if they had some stuff on
jazz/blues. I did learn George Benson came from the area, etc. and there was something where you could take a bunch of sound (including the Mr Rogers theme) and make your own
mix, etc. I noticed they had a pic of civil rights protesters picketing U.S. Steel and I figured, USS probably
helped to fund the museum. A story I read about the museum mentioned the money drying up. Agreed.
