Cool stuff to mention in descriptions --> helpful for people to understand how they can fit into the space:

• What kinds of folx frequent the space? (ex: queer POC / transmasc / cis white / femmes / mostly aged 25 and under / mostly aged 50+ / relatively wealthier / low-income crowd / artsy / business-y / parents / ...)

• What kinds of (queer) self-expression are represented here? (ex: lots of makeouts, outfits are important, great for conversations, drag + gender variant presentation celebrated, family-friendly, good to visit alone)
