It's reminiscent of a craggy old fishing shack by the shore, but slicked up and super-sized for the suburbs. Inside, along with the requisite rough-hewn wood and corrugated tin is a chockablock whirl of kitsch, memorabilia and beach junk; everything from Tonka trucks and tricycles to plastic sharks dangle from the ceiling. It all feels a little like being suspended in a hurricane frozen in time.
