While waiting to meet my friend Heather at the Zoo, I walked over to the Veterans War Memorial Building<\/a> adjacent to the Zoo parking lot. I’d seen it many times but never went inside. I was actually surprised to find it open since it seemed like no one was there. Heard a couple of people talking inside one of the offices but nobody every came out to greet me. Took some pictures of a couple of cool World War I window displays with uniforms, accessories and medals but otherwise I think it’s more of a meeting place for veterans. They did have a good sized auditorium with a stage. Didn’t stay very long. As I was leaving there were a couple of cop cars detaining and questioning a older, transient in a wheelchair. Hope he wasn’t a veteran looking for help.<\/p>\n
