(Harris Reiner, president; Aaron Rappaport, vice president).<br /><br />(The Wandermans are my family; the story in the family is that they sold the building to some Capone-connected people. The "mysterious explosion" and insurance claim is either the proof of or the cause of story)<br /><br />i'd be curious if you had any info on "clinton garden" that we've both mentioned hereCraziesthttp://craziest.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-43284196469378698222011-05-18T05:20:06.167-07:002011-05-18T05:20:06.167-07:00Great story!

It was not lost on me at all in the ate 1980s as a teenager and seeing bands at the Ritz - while you mention a number of A-listers, for me it was the Sugar Cubes, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Pixies... it was $12 to get in to see live some of the musicians who defined my youth and carried into my adulthood. And it was more special that I knew then that my grandparents stood on the very same floors forming their own youth and adulthood... we are so lucky places like this are still thriving...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
