L&I closes the Fire

What's up with L&I marching on Philly venues recently? First it was the 941 Theater (in fact, they just announced their fundraisers), now it's The Fire. According to a tweet from PhillyRockBlog, the Fishtown rock venue has been forced to cancel all upcoming events.

L&I closes the Fire

I caught up with The Fire's manager Dan McShane, who confirms the NoLibs music venue is shut down until they have the money to resolve L&I's issues. "We're working on it," he said calmly. He also said he and everybody at the Fire has been touched by the "extreme outpouring" of support from the community, and he's hoping to do something of a "publc nature" to turn all the positive energy into action and get the doors back open.

Thanks for posting this; was wondering what was going on.



But, um, the Fire isn't in Fishtown.  It's in Northern Liberties.
