• On his wbez.org blog, Jim DeRogatis covered the Congress Theater's possible shut-down due to hazardous conditions, then followed it up with news of the venue being allowed to stay open for the time being because of sufficient progress so far in addressing the violations. There is another inspection scheduled, so DeRogatis will do doubt keep us up to speed on future developments.
