After the place closed, the figures were auctioned and I think I remember discovering that John Wayne one in some restaurant as a decoration (the joint behind Hechts in Freindship Hts?). I remember that Orpheus Records on M st in GTown had the Louis Armstrong one

Yes, but there is a large performing space in the plan, which could be cool. Actually, my brother-in-law's architecture firm in NY has bid on this project, and it includes multiple performing spaces, both large and small (and outdoor). It could be something we 9:30 club aficionados use as well.

When it comes down to it, it will be overloaded with non-Rock and much older musicians. Not many of what you would consider, hot Rock stars. At least, not hot anymore. Now, they may visit the museum while in town or attend snooty parties. Even then, you know darn well, being in DC, it will be overloaded with non-hot Capital Hill politicos and their wives. :roll: We're still better off along the U St. corrider.
date hot rock stars….
