    I find it rather comforting that not much has changed in these two photos.

    Extremely comforting, right? Brings a smile.

    Great theater, great experience. Always.

    Nice to see an "after" shot that looks pretty much the same as the "before" shot.

    Is the little kid crossing the street in the first photo now the older gentleman in the second photo?
