this would indeed require some money, but i dont see too much risk! that would be such a great space for a concept like this, and of course i know you would do a top-notch job with it. i think it would be a home run.

Good to hear. Thanks for the correction - glad I was wrong.

I know westport is still somewhat of a suburban draw and less of a neighborhood, but i find it to have almost anything I need in a medium to low density neighborhood.

The walk score, however spurious the methods are, is intriguing. I centered this at westport road and pennsylvannia, which picks up 39th to 43rd, summit to main... which is a half mile radius. Pretty impressive!

Ok, the story has now been updated with a correction/apology on top. They are not closed, but cannot have any violations for 6 months.

Does selling roids in the Gold's Gym locker room really count as working?

JK of course.

Yes! but then I wouldn't have any fun drinking Sunday afternoon beers in it! I'll let someone else do it

not a bar, not a restaurant. Couldn't find an existing thread on the place (surprising in retrospect....).

The Pistol Social Club is dead.

The Foundation Room apparently will continue though.... so that's some solace.

It was a pretty strange place, I enjoyed it the times i went, and the eclectic crowd that showed up (from dirty young hipsters to older Brookside couples). It really was a solid example of what a DIY music/arts scene could look like, only wish there were more like it.
