Still, I think everybody in the community was pulling for them to succeed on this one, if for no other reason than many of us expect Georgetown is most likely going to be one of the few affordable neighborhoods for arts venues within the City limits in the next few years.

They definitely need to expand the bus service to and from there, though... at least make sure the 60 and 121 run later and late on weekends.

The purchase failing can be distilled down I think to a single hurdle: money. Which in this case was not he same as want, desire and support. They had and have a huge amount of that which in and of itself is huge. They also raised a large amount of money - money with a M - but it was not enough money.

I do believe the Exit 162 project will go forward but with a different building. The project wasn't entirely conceived because of that particular building, but to bring live performance to Georgetown.

However, the equation is simple: money = space. If you want to support Exit 162, give them money.
