So cool! What do the random off the street people think about the museum? I find the location fascinating, as often when I'm driving to events and cons I go through small towns that have similar storefront spaces that are empty. Seems like the coolest re-use.
By and large, it has been well-received. While most of the museum's guests have come from other places, quite a few local people have come in as well. Some people have asked why, and I do my best to explain it. Most people seem to "get it". New Kensington is one of the many small formerly-industrial cities encircling Pittsburgh, and it's one of the few that's enjoying a rebirth as a locus of high-tech people, artists, and makers. There are people who live within a couple of blocks of the museum who, for example, ran PDP-11s at work decades ago. And heck, our own Dan Roganti lives right across the street! :-) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
