We're In!

Today was the first day our Party Productions Rentals office was open in our new location in East Village in Downtown San Diego.  Our phones worked all day - thank goodness - after a rough few days.  Our new phone company neglected to tell us that coverage would go in and out for a few days before the "port" of our phone number was completed.  And after no less than 3 calls and 2 hours with tech support, it seems like our phones are now solid. 

We're really excited about our space.  Not only are we right next to the freeway in a cool part of town, but our building is a historic structure built in 1908 called the Snowflake Bakery Building (at least the front half is that old anyway).  We're still in the process of some upgrades and cosmetic improvements, but we've seen great progress thanks to our contractors, our crew - and 3 straight days of painting by Paula.  Here's a shot of our temporary sign in front of our 16th Street entrance:

In addition to getting our permanent signage, our contractor still needs to re-paint the eave over the door.  One cool thing... the garage door to the right leads into an event space that the company who's leasing it has been pouring money into. 

Here's an early shot of our showroom space (although that yellow wall didn't exist 2 weeks ago). 

The guys also made good progress on the warehouse today, organizing the dozen+ truckloads we've brought over in the last week.  We've got only a few more to go and we'll be completely in (though the organizing will continue!).

Come by and see us if you're in the area!  Our address on 16th Street is 705 16th St., Suite 200, 92101.
