The hill. That huge atrium. The long glass hallway. Waving hi to a friend as you go down the escalator and they are coming up. Long taxi lines. Secret elevators. Hotel room parties. Dancing in the bar. Last call.
Man, if those elevators could talk….
It was my favorite NAR event…running back and forth from the Marriott to the Shoreham.
I’m interested to see what it is reborn as! I remain hopeful that we haven’t had our last Mid-Year there.
Nothing but good memories of this venue; particularly from back when it still had that sunken/circular bar right off the escalators. There have always been those of the opinion that this conference should move to a suburban location, outside the beltway. We’ll have to see if this happens when they re-launch this back to an in-person event.
Just won’t be the same End of an era.
