Michael Heaton's PD column today included the disturbing news that the Beachland -- the coolest, hippest, most music- and musician-friendly venue in the entire known universe -- is up for sale.
Barber and her partner, Mark Leddy, have owned and operated the Beachland Ballroom in Collinwood since 2000. He's the booker, she runs the business. In those seven years, countless musical acts have graced the stages in the ballroom and tavern. They are ready to pass the baton.
Fortunately, it appears that Cindy and Mark aren't going to dump it off on just anybody. But if that place ends up another classic rock bar or headbanger hang-out, I'm going to have to leave town.
Save the Beachland!
