Radius, Tonic, Marx. Thats it and frankly they all suck. Marx looks good in comparison though. Other than that its laundry and dollor stores. Im not saying it needs to be whitewashed by any means. But really. how come 18th, U Street, 11th st. all thrive while Mt Pleasant., most bad ass of them all just withers?

Wonderful venue, with stained glass above the stage, and seating and a bar (if I recall) up in the choir loft. Old churches, with acoustics and size, can make nice clubs. See more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradiso_(Amsterdam) Of course, parking and residential neighbor concerns about noise, hours and crowds would likely make that an untenable option, it would be nice to have an in-city alternative to the 9:30 - not that there is anything wrong with the 9:30, but extra options are nice.
