I can't be nearly as imaginative nor "punful"., but though happy for the
upgrade, I will miss the Palace location. I filmed a student movie there
just before the Exploratorium opened.  I met with Frank Oppenheimer there
in 1984 to get his advice on opening an interactive science center.  I
treasure his input and hope that your new location will further his vision.
