State of the City address a success!

We opened our doors Thursday night to the general public and served as host of the Mayor's State of the City address and, in our opinion, the event was a huge success.  It was a sneak peak of what's to come at the Hippodrome this spring and we wanted to share a few of the photos that were taken of the evening.

Thank you to all who helped make the evening a success!  And another big thanks for all who attended.  We hope you liked what you saw and will come back to future events at The Hipp!

We made the cover of Style Weekly!

That handsome man on the cover of Style Weekly is the brains, braun, and heart & soul behind the Hippodrome project.  It would not have happened without his spirit and determination.  And to give credit where credit is due, Style has written an article on the project, along with the great family behind it. 

You can read the entire article here! And, if you happen to see Mr. Stallings on the street, please don't mention the article.  He already has trouble fitting his head through the door ;)

We have a Facebook page!
