Actually, that's in Overland Park, KS.  I was there once just after 
it had opened, and the place was completely deserted; totally empty.  
It looked like it had potential, but the complete lack of customers 
at that time was a bit spooky.  Maybe that's changed?

In any case, you had to know this place is in Overland Park, since
that's where almost everything in Kansas seems to be. :-)  Everytime
I go there, it gives me the creeps that I'm actually in Kansas and 
not in California.
