Unfortunately my anxiety disorders were acting up :roll:, so I didn't head inside for a closer look (or find out what diving helmets had to do with vacuum repair!). Incidentally, there's some chain-link fence slapped up on the outside wall painted over in the same shade as the rest of the exterior, and looks from a distance like fishing net! If I get back there on one of my up days, I may just ask the history of the place & if it has any connotations (or order a Mai Tai).
