I have been to Obie's twice, and it IS an experience you won't get anywhere else. This year there were at least three "avalanches" of bolts falling over and blocking the aisle. One of them fell on me as I was standing and not touching anything and the bolts just came down on my back. It can be dangerous- my sister kept saying she didn't know how they were allowed to be open at all, fire marshalls must look the other way.
You really have to see it to believe it, the bolts are stacked two and three deep, no way you can possibly see all of them. I bet some have been buried in there for years!
I love your pictures. Mine were okay but you can really see what it is like in yours. You definitely have to be careful. I thought the same thing about how they are allowed to stay open. I missed the wide backing. How could that have happened?
