Highland Center for the Arts

This amazing facility houses a theatre, gallery, classrooms and restaurant.  
It is in the middle of nowhere, built by a longtime Summer visitor to a nearby lake.  
This was his 14 million dollar thank you.  
About one year old, it is already drawing large audiences.

    2. I did find this on Google:

      "Facebook is losing young users even quicker than expected, according to new estimates by eMarketer. ... The reality: The number of U.S. Facebook users in the 12- to 17-year-old demographic declined by 9.9 percent in 2017, eMarketer found, or about 1.4 million total users. That's almost three times the decline expected."

    1. Very informative article. Helped me understand candidates I had previously known little about.

    2. How come these particular nine were given a microphone? Why not Bernie or some of the others? Will there be a second round of this?

    3. The implication was that these were the nine who chose to attend this particular event. And no, SXSW is almost over. it won't happen again until a year from now.

    4. I felt better informed after reading the article, and shared it for that reason. I have a feeling the field might be narrowed quite a bit sooner rather than later.
