I hope the secret convention center also has a secret entrance, or else the whole secrecy thing is kind of a waste. Where would you hide a secret entrance? I’m voting for the Beer Depot myself.

Conspiracy theories aside, what surprised me is that the signs don’t say where parking is.

When I go to a new city, I often have a GoogleMap to where I’m going, but I don’t have a map to where I should park. That seems a bigger challenge for confused parents on State Street that don’t know to park on Maynard.

The conspiracy-minded among us could triangulate the location(s) or above ground entrance(s) of the secret convention center based on a survey of those wayfinding signs having a blank fourth row.

I’d guess the wayfinding signs are the DDA’s way of making sure Ann Arbor is ready for the “secret” convention center.

I'm not a fan of the wayfinding signs, to be honest. I think they are visual clutter: link to Flickr
