Unclaimed Baggage Center

While the painting in the Unclaimed Baggage Center's museum is nice, the highlight is the crumbling Hoggle from the movie Labrynth. Apparently foam rubber and latex puppets don't age well.

Unclaimed Baggage Center

I was there in late October and the place was packed! And talk about deals! They had at least 100 compact cameras for cheap, and some were top shelf models. They have skis and clothes and sporting equipment out the nose.

But the highlight of any visit is the Unclaimed Freight museum. There is a rather large painting by a big-ish name (Pisarro, Turner, etc.) that was unclaimed, as well as some ancient Oriental artifacts. Some articles make you wonder: "How could you forget this?"
