Williamsburg Armory to Host the Kinus Hashluchos Gala Banquet
After an extensive search for a suitable location for the Gala Banquet of Kinus HaShluchos, the organizers of the Kinus unveil their choice.
This year Gala Banquet will take place at the US Army National Guard Armory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on Sunday, 21 Shevat, 5779 (January 27th) at 5:00pm.
The armory, a famous place where many well attended weddings and events took place, was originally staled to be sold by the government to be made into condos. The deal was scrapped, and the armory used primarily for events and movie making.
The Kinus will be held in Brooklyn on 17-22 Shevat 5779 (January 23-28, 2019).

It’s where the Satmar chassidim have staged many of their events.
I remember
I remember that armory it was near Lubavitcher Yeshiva on Bedford and Dean. They would hold an annual sale there when I was a really little kid.
Brings back very very old memories.
Not near Bedford and Dean
The armory is in Williamsburg, not the one on Bedford and Atlantic

Please reconsider. I hope there will be more police protection that during the Tahluca in 1977.
Don't worry
Don’t worry Pinny. The National Guard has a base there. Also the Shluchis don’t have beards.
