I floated the FLounge idea as pure whimsy, although I suspect the route is GCH-heavy for much of the time

And the food aspect is, of course, affected by the tiny amount of space available for putting anything more out than the small trays of cookies, a basket of rolls and the pot of soup [appropriate to the time of day, of course].

Given the number of Lounge users, there certainly seems to be an argument for expansion. But to lose a Gate in the process? Hmmm.
