Gee, Crayfish, if i had know it was all that splendorific, i would
have stopped by if only to be dazzled. :-)

Somehow this puts me in mind of another story....  No doubt as a kid
you traveled with your parents and were bombarded with "See Rock City"
signs, birdhouses, barnsides, etc., throughout the south until your
mind had decided that this Rock City place must put Oz itself to
shame.   ...And then one day you actually did see rock city. <G>

What i remember most about limelight was prior to it's opening when
the management announced that they intended to have a live panther
under the transparent floor and all of the animal rightists came
crawling out of the woodwork. Of course, in the later years, the drug
busts there were the headliners.
