    The new Crocker Art Museum still doesn't come close in comparison to many others nationally, such as the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Aside from classic forms of art, gallery also contained "contemporary" pieces that looked like grade school projects. In the middle of the day, the concrete in the performance courtyard area apparently drew a lot of complaints from both audience and performers of being too hot and having no shading. The staff, though as hard as they tried, were just too short of white umbrella tents to shield the audiences. The cafe's "special" for the grand opening day was just a soup they seriously wrote on the menu board as something as "killed squash"(a personal statement on behalf of the chef?). Sold also were overpriced fast food items as hot dogs, hamburgers and fries; certainly not the "cuisine" they claimed they'd have. Money should have gone instead to "improving" other things in our city. Collapse
