I agree -- dark. Maybe if the outside of the building were brighter (the dark inside is okay) it would give it more impact.

Fabulous! Great surroundings. The (sort of) negative space gives it great context and feeling.

Guess I could elaborate...

This was a hard challenge, I think. That's why I sat out. Suburban, by definition, is a very local concept -- a very personal one, perhaps, too. Most of the entires that were soundly suburban were soundly boring. Yours was neither in my opinion.

I gave this a five, which neither helped you nor hurt you, it looks like. I thought there was something nostalgic about it -- it has the look and feel of an old photo. I just had trouble making the suburban connection was all.
