Tour of Alcatraz: Not The Same Old Sentence

We'll admit: we've been to Alcatraz enough that we pretty much never want to go there again (third time's the charm). But it looks like NPR's All Things Considered has the goods on some interesting new exhibits, as well as some findings that were uncovered after a recent renovation.

Indeed, the million-and-a-half yearly visitors to the former prison will now be able to see the shower area. Yes, a shower. And, if that wasn't enough, they found a shelf. A metal one. With a shiv. (Okay, we'll stop the sarcasm; foot-long shivs from 50-odd years ago might be pretty cool).

Um, yeah, maybe we are willing to go back again in light of the above -- especially since we just remembered the ferry over sells booze--so we'll have 12 minutes to prepare.
