It looks to me like Rockin' on the River would be the perfect venue for my band. We're called The Tribute Band Tribute Band.

In our paying tribute to tribute bands, we surpass them in tributality. Look on our tributes, ye tributers, and despair!

What a sad case. It's very difficult to find a developer with the resources, vision, and commitment to take on a costly and risky project like St. Joe's. It's a shame that the hidebound conservatism of the neighborhood stymied the first and only realistic, pragmatic, and frankly very cool, project to come along in many years. I hope the church and the neighborhood gets one more shot, although I'm not optimistic.
