🏈 The Super Bowl is this weekend already!? 😯 🏈   Whether you are a San Francisco 49ers fan or a Kansas City Chiefs fan, there will be many fans with a reason to celebrate, especially in #LasVegas. 🎉   With several casinos, entertainment venues, massive hotels, and restaurants only a few miles from the Super Bowl stadium, there won’t be a lack of places to go! 🏈 🥂   At virtually every gaming facility in Las Vegas, Won-Doors take the place of conventional swinging doors that limit design flexibility and can be cumbersome for large numbers of guests moving between spaces. At Caesars Palace Las Vegas Hotel & Casino (pictured), the Won-Doors serve as a fire-assembly separator, between the casino and the shopping center.   They are commonly used in sports facilities for football, baseball, basketball and hockey, where large numbers of fans must pass through openings and corridors that must be sealed off in an emergency while still providing emergency egress. #wondoors #firedoors #safetydoors #entertainmentindustry #architects #superbowl

The popular adage, "everything is bigger in Texas," particularly rings true for its commercial real estate market. In the forthcoming years, it's predicted that five of Texas' major markets - San Antonio, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Frisco - will amplify their presence in the national real estate landscape. Let's delve deeper into the promising prospects these cities offer for commercial real estate professionals in 2023.

The idea that our transactions and consumer engagement shouldn't be detached from our values, relationships, or community, but instead complimented by those important things, is certainly the way forward for our economy. We've been immeasurably blessed by the small business owners on our site. They have inspirational stories to tell and high-quality products to sell, so we're always looking for additional ways to showcase them. With that, we at PublicSquare are proud to announce the launch of 'PublicSquare Live'. PublicSquare Live is a QVC-style live shopping experience where we interview business owners, share exclusive discounts on their products, provide an opportunity for consumers to ditch the big box retailers, and shift consumer spending to family-owned and operated, high-quality vendors. While envisioning how best to execute this exciting initiative, I met the legendary Erin Elmore, Esq. a former long-time QVC host, current TV personality, and devoted patriot. She was immediately drawn to the vision and decided it would be a great use of her skillset to jump 'all in' and launch this with us. On top of that, when RealAmericasVoice heard about this, they stepped up and offered to host the show on air for their millions of viewers (A huge shoutout to Rob Sigg and the team over there! They do fantastic work.) You can view the first episode that aired this past Saturday evening on Real America's Voice at the link in this post, and I'll link a PR in the comment section that describes this initiative in greater detail if you're interested in learning more. We're saving the country through the power of commerce and we'd love it if you join us. Onward and upward! https://lnkd.in/eYJ6pC3X

Baltimore made the New York Times’ annual “52 Places to Go” list for 2024 at #14! Many of you are probably thinking… “Really?! Why Baltimore?” Baltimore, too often overshadowed by negative headlines, is a city rich in history and culture that stands as a symbol of resilience and renewal. So, what is going on in Baltimore? Let’s delve into a few of the exciting developments that are reshaping the city: Lexington Market America's oldest public market, founded in 1782, has undergone a massive facelift. The modernized facility, reopened in the fall of 2022, is a celebration of entrepreneurship, housing a diverse array of local businesses. Rash Field Transformed into a 'safe and serene gathering spot for families,' Rash Field now features three parks (nature/adventure/skate), an overlook with harborfront views, and a shaded lawn following its impressive $16.8-million makeover. I often stop by Rash Field on my runs around the Harbor, no matter the time of day or time of year, this is one of my favorite spots for a quick rest while taking in the sights and sounds of the city, especially the Inner Harbor. CFG Bank Arena (formerly Royal Farms Arena) Recently reopened after a remarkable $150 million-dollar renovation, CFG arena stands as the city’s largest indoor sports and performance venue, catering to a diverse audience. The Walk @ Warner Street Transforming an underutilized industrial zone into a modern and walkable district, improving connectivity between Horseshoe Casino and M&T Bank Stadium (Go Ravens!), and just a short walk from Camden Yards (How 'bout them O's?). This 250k sq ft site features Yards Social Bar, a Topgolf facility and 34k sq ft of retail space with a new Paramount music venue coming soon. The aforementioned developments/destinations hardly scratch the surface of what Baltimore, the city I call home, has to offer. Will you be visiting Baltimore this year? For those of you who are local, what makes you proud to call Baltimore home? Stay tuned for part two!
