I just wanted to leave a quick note. I grew up nearby but the Terminal had closed 2 years before I was born, so I never saw it in action. Tonight was my first time being inside and it was great to see the place alive - the streets were jammed with cars, people everywhere and music playing!
However, by 8pm when I showed up, there was already no more beer, and what seemed like thousands of people were leaving as I walked in. I walked in and there was no one to take my $10 nor did I know if there was any food left.
I was hoping to pay my admission and pay per beer to help the place out while having a great time. Even if there was a seperate purchase for all-you-can-drink and a greater supply, it could have worked out well. Instead, I stayed for an hour and then left, only able to pay a few dollars to one of the vendors inside for candy.
Hopefully next year you can capitalize greater on the massive number of people that want to be here. There are tons of people my age without any ties to the neighborhood or Polish culture that will come out just for a good party in such a great location. With a bit more local promotion and factor in some beer sales, it could be a fantastic revenue generator.
Thanks for your efforts in cleaning it up so far!
