There is ONE big difference here and I'm pretty sure you know it. While I agree with some of what you're saying (I know many, many people who miss the Green Parrot badly) the FACT is that none of those places ever reached the national level that the Stone Pony has. Am I right? You're looking at it from the same perspective of Tri-City - that the Stone Pony is nothing but another bar. The Pony also is known around the world in the same way that people known the Cavern in Liverpool. Ever wonder why there is a rebuilt Cavern club today? Because Liverpool realized that they made a mistake tearing down the original when they could have used it as an anchor in a music tourism trade. The Cavern was just another booze hall to some... It's now part of a music tourism trade bringing in lots and lots of revenue for the area. ------------------------ Yahoo!
