Metro Moves ... and is Greeted by Visitors
Our move at the end of April was as smooth a transition as humanly possible. After a week in our new digs, we were greeted by a wonderful view of a rainbow that appeared to end at the base of the Empire State Building.

The beginning of June we received our first visitors. Jaylee Kirchberg (pictured on right) and Chanda Durham (left), ad designers at the Daily News Journal, Murfreesboro, TN, spent a few days in New York City, and dropped in to say 'hello'.

Also 'in the neighborhood' were Brent Albrecht, Marketing and New Media Director of Suburban Chicago Newspapers (Plainfield, IL) and Brent Maring, Prepress Team Leader at the Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL).

Thanks for stopping by!
