someone buy the old Lost Souls building, sound proof it (get rid of those big old windows), then i will walk to shows there a lot. There's been tools sitting in it for 4 four years in the exact same spot on a saw horse table.

Wasn't there a coffee shop there years ago that had shows for a while until the neighborhood shut them down?

If I remember correctly Scott and the guys from Shilo Church did shows there for a while. The nieghborhood association complained to the point where they city shut them down and re-zoned it. I want to say that you can only have something there that is retail, no live music and no alcohol or food sales.
I paid my dues but I lost my Receipt.

i checked out the zoning on the assessors website, it's zoned for business. I don't know how much more detailed zoning gets. It's gone down $20,000 in 2 years. That church serves beer during their greek fest. This would be a good place for a Ritual Cafe 2.

bars need a nice jukebox.
otherwise i dont really want to hang out there.

there is this bar in waterloo called the lava lounge it has an awesome jukebox

The Triple Rock is cool, but the neighborhood around it looks like the set for Black Hawk Down.

Hey, considering the general quality of venues around the midwest and the ability to support them, the VM ain't that bad.

Probably a baaad time to open one though.

What ever happened to Mary's/Safari?
