A flickering sign, on a side street only a few doors from the center of Jerusalem. A garish yellow florescent lit stairway made one entering feel dirty and insignificant, untrusted. The fact that when you opened the door, a computer chip played "Dixie" added to the strangeness of the place.

You create a great ghoulish atmosphere - and the story gives great context. Would fit really nicely in the opening scene of a movie !
