than a road. It leads right to a house with a
commercial building
attached (somewhat behind Blockbuster's). That is
Walter's. Once inside you will
find a nice living-room like front room with a ballroom
attached. The
dance floor seems large enough for a basketball court

very nicest ballroom floors in the area.

ballroom dancing with good company - usually ballroom

other dance club members, but this dancing is open
attendance.
