Re: [Plug] Potential new meeting place


Ah Ha!

I want to second this.  I've been to a few of the meetings downtown but
stopped going due to the lack of reasonable parking & cost/hours of the
train.  Conshy is a reasonable compromise.  I could religiously attend
at a location such as this.

PS. I'm not quite sure where the Lee Park complex is, but there are many
fine restaurants in Conshy.
