The end of an era.

I hope it's not the end of an era -- the problem is related to the real estate bubble. Once upon a time when CBGB's was new, real estate in that area wasn't hot like it is today.
There are claims that the landlord did not notify them about the increases, but that's hard to believe -- a landlord is always on the tenant's back (a typical F---ing landlord). It's a valuable piece of property and this dispute is going to be difficult to fight against.

If the land is repossessed, let's hope that something lame is not done with it -- it would be horrible to turn it into another shopping mall.
