I'm not in these pictures because I'd be hunkered down in the Art Museum gift shop all day. :o

...and these ads are on the other half. Damn, I can never get my car to smile like that. Probably because the most interesting place we ever go to is the mall. :/

At the center of the booklet is a fold-out map in full color. These ads are on one-half of the page when the map is folded in half...
