Dreams need space.  I’m not certain where I first heard that, but it has stuck with me for years.  And this creative space fits that objective admirably: a corner loft of about 1,000 square feet, with tall ceilings and an adaptable floorplan, amidst a community of creatives gathered at Artscape Triangle Lofts.  Great space, alas, to dream.
