The tall white building behind that is the Ricks Tower, which was the tallest building in the city for almost 100 years. Coming up on the left-hand side is the oldest building in town. Constructed in 1835, it was originally the county courthouse. It's gone through several reincarnations since then, and is currently the Pit Stop, one of the city's finest watering holes. Ahead on the right is the Gazette Building, home of the city's largest newspaper. OK, now we're leaving downtown and headed for the University District, to check out some historic architecture at the state's most prestigious institute of higher education.

All right, here's your cubicle. The bottom drawer locks, so you'll want to put any valuables in there, and make sure you keep your key! Now over here is the break room. There are two vending machines, as well as the coffee maker there. Extra filters and bags are in the cupboards above. There are also bowls, and silverware in the drawers next to the microwave. Everyone is responsible for cleaning their own dishes, thank you. OK, the bathrooms are down the hall on the right. The conference room is opposite the restrooms, and the manager's office is around the corner from the conference room... the door at the end of the hall.

Oh yes, hello. My name is Darcy McGuire, and I'm calling to inquire about your cleaning services. I was referred to you by my neighbor, Doris Magnusson, who says you've been cleaning her home for a couple of years. I own a four-bedroom house in Green Haven, and I'd like to have someone come and clean it twice a month. Could you please tell me how much that would cost? Do you send just one person, or a team of two? Also, what type of cleaning materials do you use? Are they environmentally friendly? Do I need to provide anything? Oh, one more thing. Do you charge extra for pets? I have a dog and two cats. Again, my name's Darcy McGuire, and if you could please call me at 555-6996, I'd appreciate it.
