Takeover Thursday's mission is to provide a vehicle to further the growth of the young urban professional network in Chicago. This past Thursday they sponsored a networking event at La Pomme Rouge (http://www.lapommerouge.com/) . The creator’s of Takeover Thursday promised to deliver a quality venue and they did not disappoint. La Pomme Rouge is an upscale restaurant and lounge. The décor is stylish and elegant. The muted colors and pleasant staff create a very warm atmosphere. The bartenders are very well trained, so you get your money’s worth.
It was the right background for a gathering of Chicago’s finest - graduate students, lawyers, bankers, entrepreneurs, and other corporate and government executives. More important than their titles, the people were friendly, laid-back, and well dressed. People were actually exchanging cards.
Unfortunately, many did not pay attention to the fact that this was an after work event, from 5:00 pm to 9:30 pm. Most people did not arrive until 8:30 and those that arrived at 9:30 were denied access. Those that arrived late missed out on the opportunity to spend a few more hours enjoying tasty food and drinks, at a charming lounge, with a lovely crowd.
