RIP The Tabernacle


I wasn't at this show, but have felt the Tabernacle floor bounce and sway many a time.  It was only a matter of time before it buckled and cracked.  


News flash: the floor upstairs at the god-forsaken Masquerade isn't much better.

Update:  Tonight's show for country singer Corey Smith has been cancelled.

Post-Script: According to a February 10 Facebook message, "City officials have inspected the venue and determined there was no structural failure of the floor system. Our subsequent investigation of the building shows areas that require additional attention to insure the ongoing integrity of the building for many years to come. We are working to prepare the venue for our upcoming shows this weekend." However, the Lauryn Hill concert scheduled for Thursday has been moved to Monday, February 17th, not because of the floor but due to the impending ice storm on its way to Atlanta.
