No it's not just you.It sounds like a closure waiting to happen. I recently
responded to another posting lamenting a science museum closure here in
Baltimore. Same thing... no advertisement, no clearly defined presence in the
community, and expectations that people were would just show up and drop the $8
to get in.
Maybe more observations like your own will help us all look at things
differntly in the future in regards to getting the public into such places.
Hope it helps
