This meeting place is beautiful! I love the decor! The layout of the seating and tables were great for a day-long seminar. Several screens on both walls allowed me to see the speaker's slides easily. Bonus: The art walls in the restrooms were so fun! I would highly recommend this meeting place on Main Street in Joplin, Missouri!
