...universal premise. The creators of the comic and television series painted a breathtaking picture of a fantastical world populated by living machines fighting a war that had raged for millions of years. Politics, drama, humor, and a human-like empathy were woven into a tapestry that put a twist on the eternal struggle between Good and Evil...
...which opened in late November, has forsaken the traditional ambience of the old location for a daring redesign by co-owner Deborah Hughes.
