This is an industrial area, with nothing interesting within easy walking distance. There is a deli on the same side of Industrial Blvd., about half a mile to the west.
If the building is open, there are interesting displays and literature in the lobby.
Notice the DaimlerChrysler Necar in the photo, along with the 4500-gallon Hydrogen tank. The Necar just happened to drive by as I was taking the photo. The Hydrogen tank is behind a locked gate. You can see it up close on the monthly tour, which includes a refueling demonstration.

Please check at the front desk or with the guard to let them know you are there charging your car, especially if it is after hours.
