Account for the person who plays Alma. She is a programmer, and can be found on github and launchpad as codersquid. A long time ago she was in college for a while and studied psychology together with computer science. codersquid is her username because compared to a coding octopus a squid is a code monkey, and it's funny to call yourself a code monkey. plus, she likes thinking of cognition and sapience in all forms, not just in primates.

main room

The old Over Easy diner counter separates the front from the back area where all the food prep and dish washing used to happen.

A large corkboard is covered with announcements and information. A calendar, a signup sheet titled, "Rides", and emergency contact information for the Ruth Ellis Center are prominant. Standing visible to the outside is a rotating pie display case showcasing painted figurines and art projects. An unfinished community mural has started along one of the walls.

A rolling baker's rack has been converted to shelving for books, tubs of art supplies, games, gaming rules, and puzzle boxes. It's currently locked along side a wall, but can be pushed to the back to make room for events. An old PA system and mic stands are pushed out of the way on an raised dais in the corner next to a window to make space for a comfortable reading chair.

Towards the back: A whiteboard is affixed to a large fridge with a list of chores and assignments. There is an old metal food prep table on wheels that came with the space. A sign slotted in to one of those restaurant table ring stands sits on iti: "NO PAINT!!". It's underlined. The table has a lot of scratches in one spot where someone had to scrub really hard. A laundry hamper sits next to the back door with a sign swinging from it that says Laundryday/Clothing Swap. Next to it there is a bathroom stocked with toiletries, sanitary supplies, safer sex supplies, and a medical waste disposal.

front exit

A sign faces out from the glass door. "Second Stories Detroit" is mounted on a background made from the marbled covers of old library books. Beneath it hangs a chalkboard showing the hours for this week. It trails bells that ring whenever the door opens. Just inside the door there is an umbrella stand. someone has attached a postit, "Donate broken umbrellas!! We want nylon!"
