Page 1 — Opening
Canton, the façade, and the greeter.
The page label is “Page 1 — Opening.” The establishing caption is “Canton, Ohio. Population: still counting.” A second caption, in neon, says “Where the Hall of Fame learned a new kind of fame.” The skyline alt places that haze over Main Avenue.
Before and after
A split panel shows the same storefront. Before: the alt text describes a pristine Hall of Fame on opening day, LED marquee reading EXHIBITS OPEN. The caption says “Velvet rope. Hopeful neon. Opening day smiles still on warranty.” After: scorch marks and a marquee the alt reads as CLOSED FOR RECALIBRATION. The caption says “One surviving LED. It blinks like it’s taking notes.” The comic calls it “the incident” in the alt and does not, on this panel, name a single cause.

Welcome to the Hall. Please rate your visit after you survive it.
I didn’t come for a survey. I came for answers.
