What a great new space for events! And it is right downtown.
The Pressroom has only been open a few months. We've all passed this space and it just looked like all the other older buildings around the courthouse area. Not anymore! It is now a beautifully transformed space - inside. I like the way they have set-up it up in a modular fashion, so it (bars, etc.) can be moved around based on the size and focus of the event. The walls and stage were the only permanent fixtures. They still have some room to grow with furniture and the green rooms were definitely dated. These felt like they hadn't changed in 40-50 years, but hey it is a growing business and the location is what it is all about, right?
Sitting at my table listening to the speaker and performers on stage I realized that, even though this building used to house a large printing press (hence the name silly!) it was perfect for its new life. Acoustics were excellent. It was cool and quiet . . . no outside noise carried in. Just our little bubble. How many other little secrets of our city are there out there that we don't know about until we are invited in? Too many.
