The Armory's Entertainment License - thanks for your support!

[artsarmory.livejournal.com]

Greetings All...

Thanks to everyone who attended last night's entertainment license hearing about the Arts at the Armory.  We appreciated everyone's support of our efforts.

We recognize that lingering and understandable concerns remain about parking and noise.   We are in the process of setting up our Neighborhood Advisory Committee to help us troubleshoot and resolve any outstanding issues.  We plan to reveal the names of the entire committee and how folks can get in touch with us once all the preliminary interviews of folks who were nominated occur.  We are committed to being a good neighbor.

The Armory has a big footprint in a residential area but we are excited about what we can do there.  With your ongoing support, ideas and help, it will be a great place to celebrate arts and culture in Somerville.

For more information about us - check out our website at: http://www.artsatthearmory.org.

Cheers!

Welcome to LJ, Debra! I look forward to your Grand Opening. Please be sure to advertise it here.

Mostly for the benefit of people who come here later, here's a link to last night's post about the hearing. At least three of the participants in that discussion attended it (fefie, sonofabish, and yours truly).

Are you related to the "McLaughlin" brothers?

Just checking...

The above is probably a reference to Save Our Somerville (S.O.S.), and I think the answer is "No". But it would be great to invite them to hold an event at the Armory. This might even be the best way to make 'old Somerville' folks feel welcome at your facility.

Only if they are nice! But no, not unless the connection way goes back to MacLachlan Clan of old.

I suppose it's a common last name! But yes, if you invite them make sure they are nice, otherwise you'll get hell from the neighbors! :)

We hope to do a grand opening and will let folks know when all the details are better in place.

Thanks Ron for letting me know about this forum!
