Fun


The past few weeks at the Emporium have seen quite a bit of change. If you haven’t been in lately, come and check out our newly-painted floor! and new track-lighting! I can frankly say that the Emporium looks like a different (and better!) place. If you liked our calming ambiance before, you’ll love it even more now. Here’s a wee photo for a tease:

While I’m showing you pictures… Last weekend’s art show opening was quite successful: In addition to drawing quite the crowd, we made it on the news! A photo from the event:

The art display—“Love, Loss, and Longing: The Impact of U.S. Travel Policy on Cuban-American Families; An exhibit in photographs and words”—will remain gracing our walls until August 30. Come see it.
