Welcome to Our New Blog!

With the renaming of World Financial Center to Brookfield Place, we thought that IN THE LOOP was also due for an update. We wanted the new look to radiate warmth, community, and a bit of playfulness. We think it fits the bill!

To reflect the "new" Brookfield Place location, we have set up a new blog url and migrated all of our old posts. Please update your bookmarks with www.BrookfieldPlaceInTheLoop.blogspot.com.

And don't forget to mark your calendars for our next session on Friday, March 15!
