Report: Roseland Ballroom will close in April
The Roseland Ballroom on
The venerable venue, owned by developer Larry Ginsberg and booked by Live Nation, opened at its 52nd street location, a converted skating rink, in 1958 and is a sentimental favorite for many bands. The history of the venue in New York dates back to 1919, when it was located at 51st and Broadway, and prior to that in Philadelphia.
Roger Friedman got confirmation of the closing at ShowBiz 411.
“The owner is developing the property,” a source who’s on the inside told me. ... Ironically, across the street last year there was a threat of Gallagher’s Steak House shutting down. It was saved at the last minute. New York’s rare and storied history is disappearing quickly.
The room holds about 3,500... and I've always liked the space for a concert...
Here's a post from 2008 with more history of the space and some archival photos.
Banksy's 'Concrete Confessional' has been removed from E. 7th St.
[Photos by peter radley]
Banksy's "Concrete Confessional" was discovered/unveiled last Saturday... it was naturally quickly defaced/augmented, etc. ...
On Wednesday, construction workers apparently attempted to prevent future vandalism/augmentation by putting plexiglass over the art...
And now, sometime yesterday, someone removed the entire hunk of concrete (intended for use in the Cooper Square-Astor Place revamp), as these photos by EVG reader Robert Miner show...
Perhaps the Confessional was carted away to an unspecified gallery like that car on Ludlow Street was...
Meanwhile, how are you feeling about the Banksy hype these days?
Things that you can do today on East 12th Street
