CBGB Opens Again, Under Different Name(s)

Meant to post this the other day, but something must have side-tracked us along the way (as you know, we are all but helpless when we see shiny things). It’s the news of what’s finally to take over the old CBGB space in NY. Turns out, it isn’t going to be completely erased and redeveloped as a Bank of America branch, which is what usually happens when property becomes available. Instead, the bar is going to become a John Varvatos store and the CB gallery is being bought out by the Morrison Hotel Galley, which sells music-related art prints.
