p.s. honestly, the only thing it has over Federal is that City Beverage 
is nonsmoking. CB also has (had?) a pool table & one of those video golf 
games, but I don't know that I'd count that as a plus. If I lived closer 
to Federal, I suspect I'd more or less live *at* Federal, though, so I'm 
probably biased. But it's a bias grown out of the fact that Federal 
rules, so there you go. ;-)
