That would not be the best option. ConHall and Paramount are already used for what they were designed for. Certainly not to their full potential, however the space is already taken up. The storefronts are in use and there is little if any space left for use that would not negatively impact the

CH is REALLY filled with music history. That's something that missing in that building. If someone had half-a-brain, they'd do a bit of research and come up with a mini look at who was there. Be a nice little ting to walk around. Ditto for the paramount. I have a concept.

Unfortunately, Convention Hall is one of the worst sounding concert venues in the country. That's probably the main reason for the sparse amount of shows presented there. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, wernerapnj wernerapnj@... wrote: That would not be the best option. ConHall and
