ReplyDeleteThis description sounds great. But it is such a dump! I'm in that building weekly. The restrooms are filthy and barely operational. Check out the carpet - ew! Very dated.
ReplyDeleteThe Canton Repository was smart to remodel when they did - a very classy building and showcase facility. I would be embarresed to show off the Beacon to any out-of-towners.
