The Emporium Is Open
Posted by Chris Radcliff in Chapter Updates, Events, News on July 19, 2010
The grand opening of the Space Travelers Emporium last Saturday was a smashing success. People from both our existing space community and our new South Park community came out in droves to see the new store and Space Activities Lab, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
Even better, everyone seemed to have their own space stories to share. One common theme was, “I’ve loved space since I was little,” which we always enjoy hearing. We also talked to people who worked on Apollo, or for NASA, or with the military. Teachers, families, and even an Virgin Galactic space agent stopped by.
Of course, it helped that we got amazing media coverage over the last week, both for the grand opening and the screening of “Moon Beat”. (Thanks, Jeff!) A sampling:
- an in-depth article in the Uptown News
- TV news segments on both San Diego 6 and KUSI
- two articles in the Union-Tribune
All in all, a great start for our new home. We hope you’ll stop by soon!
