Well having been at that hall for assemblies and memorials I can tell you, it was not in good condition. In fact it was closed following flooding during the French district assembly. The city circuits used it as well as English and French. We also had memorials there every year.
I personally loved attending assemblies here - it was on a metro line and there were a lot of Bars around for mid assembly tipples. Now the assemblies are outside the city and there is a feeling of being trapped out there (not that i have been :P)
I do however have good memories of meeting friends around the corner at Cafe Jamaica...
