Governor Jim Doyle visits Main Street Station - Oct 11, 2004! VIROQUA: Early reports are favorable. The governor seemed to enjoy his visit and is very impressed with the public market initiative [a locally owned small business, proving other small merchants space to forge out their dream]. He found Joan Nelson's antique prints of the 1893 Colombian Fair in Chicago extremely fascinating (as did this scribe). The Governor just finished reading The Devil in the White City (a book describing the Fair's powerful effect) by Erik Larson, making the prints particularly mesmerizing. The works are on display in Suite C of the market. The folks at MSS send a warm thank you to Governor Doyle for stopping by!
September 11th, 2004 Market Summary. Viroqua dedicated it's new Veteran's Memorial park, just down block from Main Street Station. The market had many 1st time visitors, and a couple of new vendors. The Weepies, put on a wonderful show in Slippers. There is an on-going World Trade Center photo exhibit in the market, highlighting St. Peter's Parish, which is right across the street from the WTC site. The photos project hope and peace over fear and sorrow. View a few photos online at: the photos site. Roberta Crawford delighted the audience in Slippers with her Chakra tuned crystal bowls Sound Meditation Concert. Roberta, or Rahbi, has years of formal music training and studied with Fabien Maman in the South of France. Her performance "supports greater harmony with nature and the elements of the universe". Powerful stuff. We hung John Schneider's awesome pastoral scenes on the black east wall of the market. It is as if we created the wall for his art. See the art here. The works are for sale in the market. Email for more info. MORE PRESS: Main Street Station was discussed in the August edition of Conscious Choice Magazine, in an article about our beloved architect, Gregory Splinter (the article is at the bottom of the page). The piece is about Gregory's use of contemplative design in his architectural craft. This technique was used in the design of Main Street Station (click here to view the actual drawing). Contemplative design purposely mixes abstract, spiritual thinking with logical, left brain thought to arrive at a more balanced and complete creation. Chicago Tribune Article. Main Street Station was the featured example in an article about eLance.com, a online company who specializes in matching internet services with clients. We used the service to find www.eBam.net who designed our vendor scheduling system. See a reprint of the May 29, 2004 Chicago Tribune article here.
