Slog - Comments on Crisis Averted http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/crisis_averted I was disheartened earlier today to receive an announcement that the great little art space, McLeod Residence (I wrote about it here), sent to its members yesterday: This is a difficult email to write, but we owe it to our members to be transparent about our situation. Simply put, McLeod Residence is in big trouble, as in financial trouble. The short story is, we're running out of money.

It's great to see their members wanting to help them out. It sounds like they'll be able to survive.
