> this obviously aging little structure doesn’t feel ugly or rundown.

That made me cringe a bit. The whole look of the place is deliberate. I mean, somebody put in a lot of effort to make it look just that way. Notice how every inch of it is spotless and nothing could be said to be out of place.



Agreed. And this, too:

>And the coffee was pretty good, too.


it feels a little mean to describe this as cringe, it's just an honest opinion from someone who feels differently from you

i wouldn't describe it as deliberate, but rather accepted and embraced. yes they're choosing to not update it and modernize and they like they way it looks, but its not like they took a clean modern space and deliberately aged it to look this way

> I’m not sure why it is that this obviously aging little structure doesn’t feel ugly or rundown.

as an aside, i feel it doesnt look ugly and rundown because it's largely natural materials and colors. it's normal for things in nature to look this way.
