Had the fish and chips here. Bland. Made me feel sick later. Should have tried the Hammy Sammy or Paul Bunyan burger as recommended by Danny Kroha. I did have a peanut butter and strawberry milkshake that was big and good, though.

Located in Wood River, IL outside of St. Louis, this is the second geodesic dome designed by Buckminster Fuller and built by the Union Tank Car Company after the success of the first Union Tank Car Dome in Baton Rouge, LA. Ownership of the dome has changed several times since it was completed in 1964, but as of 2011, it was still being used for rail car repair.

Barrington Hall was a legendary bastion of radical students near the Berkely campus. It became synonymous with political activisim, unorthodox lifestyles, drug use, and supporting music.
In the eighties, "Wine Dinners" were repeatedly hosted where punch was spiked with LSD. The name of the Primus album Tales From the Punch Bowl stems from these parties.
Barrington Hall served as a locus for Bay Area punk rock, with Operation Ivy, the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, and hundreds of others playing the location.
After many successful defenses, Barrington Hall was forced to close in 1990. The USCA president stated "Barrington has a larger-than-life reputation. All across the continent, people know it as a drug den and anarchist household."
