The architecture is beautiful but this place is kinda depressing. Old people that are still racist that move away when you sit. Homeless folks who hang out not even to read. It just feels sad.

How can one go wrong with 150-year-old boutique library and the longest running chess club. Probably my most meaningful membership in the city.
