Update on Houston's Convention Center

We've been following news from Houston and just received this post-Hurricane Ike news about the George R. Brown Convention Center from the Houston CVB along with some photos taken Monday, September 15, 2008:

One of two major convention center facilities in Houston. The GRB Houston ranks among the 10 largest convention centers in the nation.

Current situation: The GRB Houston facility weathered the storm with only superficial damage. No floodwater entered the building. As of 9/15/08 three ground-floor exhibit halls are being used as temporary staging areas. Events scheduled for September 18-22, including Theta Antiques Charity Show and Houston Antique Dealers, have been rescheduled.
