Canteen

Please excuse the caption below the picture....
This was known as the canteen and the place to go on Friday's if it was your night to go. My old girlfriend (Janet) was in Unit 3 I was in Fallsington, a few times a month we were able to meet up there if our behavior allowed it. There use to be a pool table as well as a few arcade games, I remember one incident where a client went crazy and started throwing pool balls, I later found out this was a ploy to catch the staff's attention in order for another client to run away. I remember like it was yesterday, one girl got hit, I was near the kid who was throwing the pool balls, it was such a shock to me I froze. Before the staff could do anything he fell to the floor and faked a seizure.....
