The history of the place is just amazing. The sheer dumpiness of it is what gave it character.

When I had the pleasure of going there to do some photography and sound work a few years ago for a friend's band, it was like stepping into an ancient cathedral of music history. EVERYONE has played there. Not just punk bands (although that's what it's most known for). It's a shame to hear of its demise - it truly was a special place for those that are into the history of music.

I should've suspected when I saw knock-off "CBGB" t-shirts in Nordstrom that the end was near. . . I'm proud to say I actually bought mine at the actual place, but whatever. . .

We hardly knew ye.
