The Sad Demise of a Great Venue

I was re-reading something this morning and remembered that I had both read about and seen that the building which formerly housed Columbus rock club Little Brother’s was due to get a new tenant:

(I actually saw this a few weeks back when Casey and I headed out to the Surly Girl and Skully’s after the Arcade Fire show, but it didn’t register then for some reason. Chalk it up to the hour.)

Anyway, so, “Liquid”. Sheesh. And then I remembered that I wrote this back in April:

If a concert hall that doesn’t even operate as a proper bar most days of the week won’t pony up the rent, the thinking probably goes, then there’s bound to be some latte-bar entrepreneur with dreams of IPOing who’ll gladly sign up, until the money inevitably runs out there, too.

I hate being right.
