Craig Lindvahl of Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities, on the left, and local businessman Patrick Doolin prepare to lead a conversation Wednesday evening on how to grow our community and make it attractive to the next generation of entrepreneurs. The meeting was so well attended that the venue had to be changed from Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital to the Lincoln Park District in order to accommodate all the attendees. LDN will have in-depth coverage of this event in a later issue.
