we lost four music venues this past year: YMCA (for high school) Classic Cigar Parlor (upstairs lounge, all ages) Main Street Baptist Church (basement, hardcore) Siren Records (music store) all we have left is upstairs "ballroom" of a private club and some bar play some sidewalk musicianship is allowed this town had a serious music scene for years that generated many bands, some more successful then others. other arts were also generated such as art, film, poetry and high street style. The town borough closed all venues above mentioned due to fire code regulations or security issues. All above venues were closed in the space of a few months. soon to come to a town near you.
