Popular Vermont punk music venue is closing its doors
BURLINGTON, Vt. — A popular Vermont punk music venue, established with the help of the wife of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, is closing after 32 years.
Vermont Public Radio reports (http://bit.ly/2g8SjIB ) 21 bands played at Saturday’s final show at 242 Main in Burlington.
The city of Burlington, which owns the building, is closing it down due to structural problems.
The venue called itself the country’s oldest, all-ages punk club and prided itself on being a substance-free space for teenagers and others to gather.
