Of course, “town hall” can also mean “a public building used for town-government offices and meetings.”Over the years, I’ve seen them tend to resemble the second definition. Town hall as a meeting needs to be a vibrant but civil event. And in her town hall, she ended up mediating in an attempt to do just that. Metaphorically, “town hall” suggests the town is in attendance, not just a small audience of folks.
