    Does anybody remember the way the floors had a springiness to them and how they squeaked and creaked as you walked across them?

    How about the mental kind of threshold-looking strip in the middle of the floor from wall to wall where I believe they had connected two halves together, if I recall?

      I remember that. Along with the distinct smell they all had, the scent of whatever the portable materials were used.

      And because of the compact size, all the sound has this sort of reverb to it. It’s not really an echo, just an elevated hum of busy noise, with only the higher pitched ticking current going through the fluorescents.

      And how that size also affected the lighting. Somehow even with the florescents it all was oddly sepia toned, no doubt because the only colors on the inside were white, grey, tan, and beige…
