THE WINNER OF THE BEST 'MORE-THAN-JUST-A PRETTY-FACE VENUE' IS........SALEM CONVENTION CENTER! At first glance, the Salem Convention Center (SCC) is a stunning piece of architecture. From its second level of floor-to- ceiling glass overlooking downtown Salem to its striking cantilevered roof to its expansive, day-lit lobby showcasing museum-quality fine art, the venue is a textbook example of design done right. But glance again, and you'll see that the venue is more than just a pretty face. Much more. -Teresa Kenney on 2014 editor's picks: 4TH ANNUAL NORTHWEST EDITION Thank you, thank you!
