Always a pleasure working with you Xave’. You are a shining example of what teamwork is all about. We are so fortunate to have you on the team representing The Metropolitan Business League in the Petersburg community.
A few days ago I had the pleasure of joining one of my favorite MBL Board Members, Mrs. Tanya B. of C&F Bank and her partner Marlon White, during a hard hat tour at the newly renovated "Hotel Petersburg" - An upscale boutique hotel in historic Old Towne Petersburg. https://lnkd.in/ez3kQJeZ I am super excited to utilize this space for business and leisure! There are so many design elements that celebrate the unique character of each historically significant area, and they are beautifully infused into the hotel’s design. From the welcoming lobby to captivating artwork and engaging displays, guests will be immersed in the rich history and architectural styles that define each district. So much history! so beautiful! So Petersburg! #HotelPetersburg #PetersburgIsGrowing
