Milliways: The Building?

I was driving to work this morning, and for whatever reason took a slightly different route from my usual. In the process, I passed through an older area of downtown, where there are several shops, bars, etc. to be found in historic brick buildings.

Today, there was something new.

One of the buildings now has several painted statues attached to the front of it, close to life-size, at different locations on about five floors. They're about equally split between golden-haired, white-winged angels, and dark-haired, black-winged devils, in a variety of positions.

Being understandably startled, I slowed down to get a better look, and then saw the giant sign in the ground floor window, with an antique-style image and large gold and black letters that read: MUSE.

Either I'm subject to sleep-deprivation induced hallucinations, or the world is a very strange place all by itself these days, or this community is spreading faster than we thought. Mods? Anything you want to tell us? ;)

Anyway, I'll try to get pictures tomorrow-- for the sake of my own sanity, if nothing else-- and will post a link if anyone's interested.

Nice pun on the mood. :>

*is interested* Oooh, check to see if the place can be rented for a potential future Milliways meet-up!

Which makes it all the more amusing. hahaha

Possibly a museum?

Heh. I've had similar experiences.

Never noticed that particular hotel near my old workplace until after I'd joined that other game with a character named Clarion...

The legs are down to human size, the infection is almost gone, I can walk without a cane or pain, and they didn't have to operate.

(There was a possibility that the doctors would have to insert a shunt in my legs. Or amputate. Fortunately, neither was necessary.)

Whatever it is, we are so going. This weekend, perhaps? I'm betting it's another of those swanky clubs that are popping up like mushrooms in Lodo.

Ngh that it was that bad, but Yay that you're doing well now.
