recommends the food.) Admission is free, but guests are
encouraged to have a meal. See you there! Contact info:
Julia Ward <JuliaAnn at hotmail.com> [Technical detail:
Apparently E NASA Road 1 has been renamed NASA Parkway.
Google Maps have yet to get the memo. Yahoo! Maps has.
Both map services show their data is derived from NAVTEQ,
so go figure. The link below says 911 E NASA Road 1,
which is the same as NASA Parkway.]
