It
has been a year since drinks began in 2007. We will be celebrating, in
opulent style, at the Grand Hall Lounge in Union Station!
According to the event organizer, and creator of the wonderful fliers, Claire Nowak-Boyd:
Coming Up: IMC benefit concert featuring Black Bear Bakery's new autumn menu! November 18 starting at 7PM
Opulence?
Well, this sure seems like a self-serving event. Are there a lot of architects visiting this site?
I'm not impressed by anything here except for decadence.
Union Station apparently
Union Station apparently double-booked and turned the D&Mers away this week. Serves them right, perhaps.
Why?
That's not true. The crowd convened at a bar in the old station building where there was a discussion on efforts to overcome aldermanic control of the Marine Villa Neighborhood Improvement Association and strategy for organizing againt Paul McKee's imminent attempt to get a redevelopment ordinance passed.
I suppose sour grapes Anonymous does not like forging connections between social justice and architecture. One more nay-sayer keeping on with keeping the social justice world insular.
Looks like great discussion,
Looks like great discussion, better when it's had face-to-face. Here is where D & M monthly gatherings are announced (or at least more reader comments collected).

Get a glass of ice water if you feel guilty about supporting the venue.
