I personally think a place that has affordable food geared toward a more youthfull crowd would be awesome. Our youth have no where to go. Us adults have plenty of places to go around here. JMHO
quote:You mentioned a touring band in a 250 seat venue. It just won't work, at least not with any consistency. Once you pay the band (including their technical and hospitality riders), you would have to have a cover charge in excess of $25 to break even on the entertainment. That's for a touring band at the lowest end of the pay scale. Most bands would mandate a $50+ cover charge to break even. Then, you make all your profit on drink sales. The demand for tickets that expensive, in my opinion, is not that strong in this area.
quote:there are plenty of "touring bands" that play for the cover charge or a small guarantee... say, in the couple of hundred dollars range.

for a venue: a PA, a stage. maybe someone selling generic canned drinks. thats it. -- or a arts space, look at Lowe Mill/Flying Monkey Arts in Huntsville
for a profit driven business: 18+, smoking, liquor.
i'd like to start a arts space, but any building i find to squat in shows signs of being maintained.
