The Crowd at Blank Rome's Marvin Comisky Auditorium
2003/03/13 About 100 people ranging from young to old attended tonight's event. Audience members struck me as better and more formally dressed than at the community meetings I usually go to. Blank Rome, one of the City's largest law firms, hosted the event at its headquarters on Logan Square. People in the rear of the long and narrow auditorium complained several times about not being able to hear.
