International Cryptozoology Museum

The museum has moved around the corner to a slightly larger, more comfortable location. It is still on Avon, just no longer at the corner (there is a used book store there now). The space is filled with really interesting things, some real, some... not so much. Loren was on hand to give a tiny bit of information before setting us loose in the place. While there isn't enough there to spend hours on a rainy afternoon, it is still worth the little side trip.
