Grand Opening

 
Monroe County Democrats celebrated the grand opening of new offices with cocktails on the veranda.

"We wanted to convey inclusiveness," explained a spokesman, discussing Rochester's newest architectural triumph. "Our design charettes came up with a bold concept that's relevant to all people, especially working families."

Others were inspired by the new landmark's practical advantages: "It's ideal for after-hours socializing for many of our members."

The yellow hydrant, front and center in this breakthrough public space, symbolizes the Party's commitment to the trans-species community.

In appreciation, Rex, a German Shorthaired Pointer known before his recent surgery as Osborn Hathaway, Ph.D., Professor of Multicultural Studies at Monroe Community College, said, "Woof!," before giving chase to a passing car.

Capturing the prevailing mood, one merry-maker enthused: "I'm so proud. It stands for what we've done for quality of life in the City, and our vision for the suburbs once we control the County."
