My musician son doesn’t live there (too pricey) but he plays in two or three clubs in Cambridge. The Toad and Club Passim come to mind. I think there’s one other. Anyway... I was also upset about the fire in Oakland. My other son years ago had a tiny space in a place like this where he displayed his amazing art work. I thought at the time that it was a total fire trap. For some reason when I go into a place I check out things like that. I remember going up two flights of stairs. There were extension cords everywhere and since it was twenty years ago there were probably people smoking. Lots of accelerants. It’s amazing anyone survived.
As many as 2 dozen may be dead . . . building has violations - last used as a warehouse - people living there without permits.
The owner is going to jail for a long, long time.
An artist collective . . . a labyrinth of areas just on the ground floor.
Toad, the Middle East and Lizard Lounge.
