Keeping Merryweather open, running v-fest, and providing one of the nations top concert venues. This is complete bullshit and the city officials are in the wrong. Even if live nation won the venue over IMP in a bidding war at least there would be more tax dollars to spend on god knows what else. The elected official making these decisions should be kicked out of office.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Signed,<BR/>Someone in the music industry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-35023349130102339082008-01-22T15:20:00.000-05:002008-01-22T15:20:00.000-05:00You must be the same one who said it was all about...You must be the same one who said it was all about "ego" on Silver Spring, Singular.<BR/><BR/>Nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-36256973426953589842008-01-22T13:18:00.000-05:002008-01-22T13:18:00.000-05:00Ike Leggett has pulled a fast one on us.

Instead of saving the county taxpayers millions in a time of what his CFO calls a "crisis" instead we pay for the facilities of a huge and vastly wealthy corporation. Thank You Washington Post for not questioning Ike Leggett's motives. Maybe if he were Doug Duncan, or more generally, if he was not a black politican, you would be all over him by now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-63718547519129758902008-01-22T11:47:00.000-05:002008-01-22T11:47:00.000-05:00Don't displace your fear of a rock club near your ...Don't displace your fear of a rock club near your Woodside Park home onto apartment dwellers in downtown Silver Spring, Retgroclk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-68369575508103801032008-01-21T10:11:00.000-05:002008-01-21T10:11:00.000-05:00The day will come, when the people in the nearby a...The day will come, when the people in the nearby apartments of the venue will curse the rest of you.<BR/><BR/>One day the people of downtown Silver Spring, will rue the day that they allowed this monstrosity to be built.<BR/><BR/>Having been to some of the large clubs in D.C, I have seen the aftermath and I stopped going to these places years ago.<BR/><BR/>It looks good now, and it all very hip, and cool--but.......retgroclkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538891152523408607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306615.post-90867634144713452322008-01-19T16:24:00.000-05:002008-01-19T16:24:00.000-05:00First of all, this article doesn't actually say mu...First of all, this article doesn't actually say much about competition to get the booking and management rights to the venue.
