The Petersburg Arts Council held a fundraising concert tonight. Musical styles ranged from classical to bluegrass. Okay, so it likely wasn't Carnegie Hall, but there are quite a few talented musicians here.
Elise counted the seats in the auditorium, and estimates that it seats about 300. Since the population here is a bit over 3,000, that means that the auditorium seats nearly 10% of the town. In comparison, Portland (just the city) has a population of probably close to 600,000 and once the entire metro area is included, the population balloons to north of 2 million. One of the largest venues in the area, the Rose Garden arena, seats approximately 20,000, or less than 1% of the total population base. It's just an interesting observation.
