Successful Meetings - February 2009 - (Page 68) the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar line has been redone. And there are now more restaurants—nearly 1,000—than ever before. In Baton Rouge, the Third Street Historical Arts & Entertainment District has helped bring a new dimension—and new meetings— to downtown. In Mississippi, according to Chris BoundsChapman of the Mississippi Tourism Department, “just about everything on the coast was wiped away by Katrina.” But the flip side is that the state, especially the Gulf Coast, is now alive with redevelopment efforts. “The rest of the country may be in a recession,” says Bounds-Chapman. “But not here. Because of the rebuilding effort, we’ve got full employment. And we’re gearing up to host a wide variety of meetings.” Also prepared is South Carolina’s Grand Strand, anchored by Myrtle Beach. Originally an Air Force Base, a new mixed-use project called Market Commons now has exciting retail and dining options. And Memphis, that wonderful old river town, is undergoing a dramatic transformation into a 21-century metropolis, with its new sports arena and exciting development along A meeting in the clouds I n the colorful old town of Bryson City, North Carolina, hard by the Tennessee border and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, there’s a very unique place to hold a meeting. Land’s Creek Cabins (www.landscreek.com) hosts small meetings in rustic but luxurious surroundings, welcoming Owens-Corning, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Dial Soap, and Marriott Hotels just within the past year. The newest meeting space is Harmony Hall, a wooden lodge with all the modern amenities. It opens to a covered pavilion—and a million-dollar view—below. There’s space for up to 50 indoors, and much more than that outdoors. Attendees can fall asleep to the sounds of Land’s Creek, running right below their stilted cabins. Down below, Bryson City has restaurants ranging from barbecue to Chinese, along with theme nights and dining options on the refurbished old trains of the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad.
