点评:The signs on Interstate 10 indicated that this Deming TX exit led to a visitor center and a museum. We were on a long drive and needed a stretch, picnic spot, and bathroom. The promise of a museum was an added plus. We arrived around 1:00 pm on a Saturday. which would seem to be a reasonable time for a visit to a visitor center.
Nope. Closed. The center and museum are open weekdays only - and only to early afternoon on Fridays. Closed on weekends.
This is a message to the Deming Chamber of Commerce or to whatever agency or organization sponsors this site: have it open when visitors visit! Your centers hours are bankers’ hours, not the hours to welcome people to your city. No water, no benches, no open restrooms, no picnic tables, no trash cans … and nobody home. I appreciate the effort, but luring visitors with your signs, dragging them 2 miles through town to a closed visitor center, and then requiring 2 more miles to return to their route does not create a favorable impression.
For starters, how about posting visitor center hours on your interstate sign? That way, travelers will know whether there’s a restroom at the end of the rainbow. I’ve seen these signs on interstates elsewhere.
翻译:10 号州际公路上的标志表明,这个德明 TX 出口通往游客中心和博物馆。我们开车走了很长一段路,需要休息、野餐和洗手间。博物馆的承诺是一个额外的好处。我们星期六下午 1:00 左右到达。这似乎是参观游客中心的合理时间。
不。关闭。中心和博物馆仅在工作日开放 - 周五只开放到下午早些时候。周末关闭。
这是给德明商会或赞助此网站的任何机构或组织的信息:在游客参观时开放!您的中心开放时间是银行营业时间,而不是欢迎人们来到您的城市的时间。没有水、没有长椅、没有开放的卫生间、没有野餐桌、没有垃圾桶……而且没人在家。我很感激您的努力,但用您的标志吸引游客,拖着他们穿过城镇 2 英里到达一个关闭的游客中心,然后再需要 2 英里才能返回他们的路线,这不会给人留下好印象。
首先,在州际公路标志上张贴游客中心的营业时间怎么样?这样,旅行者就会知道彩虹尽头是否有洗手间。我在其他地方的州际公路上也见过这样的标志。
