NYC's Continental set to close


http://www.getunderground.com/underground/columns/article.cf...

CBGB?s less famous counterpart only a few blocks up the street, The Continental, has let it be known that it will no longer be hosting live music and will become a regular bar with a big screen TV. The Continental hosted some of the best punk rock music ever. It?s where Joey Ramone partied and where Murphy?s Law can be counted on to ring in the New Year and St. Patrick?s Day.

Now The Continental will be a shell of its former self, with obnoxious NYU students and classless professionals playing pool where punks and metal heads used to make beautiful music. I recently ran into the Continental?s owner, Trigger, at Manitoba?s on Ave. B. ?It breaks my heart, but I?ll be able to pay my rent easier,? he said. He added that when he first opened the club 15 years ago, ?the East Village was still the East Village.?

?Now I?m surrounded by McDonald?s and Starbucks and K-Mart and I?m paying that level rent.?





If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Love that dvd.

Sucks that the owner is doing that. Mass gentrification really can kill an area.
