Norfolk planners OK new permit for Granby Theater

"The Granby Theater took a giant step toward reopening this afternoon when the Planning Commission voted unanimously, and without debate, to give the downtown nightspot a permit to resume operations."

There is a caveat though - the article refers to reduced hours and occupancy.

They're also no longer allowed to throw hip hop events.

How can they legally do that?

Granby takes big step towards reopening

Heard a radio advertisment yesterday about club 7's. Sounds like its going to be nice. The make it sound like they have a lot of room inside.

[brikkman]

I like the look of that burger join across the street from 7's, too bad they closed. I liked theme they had going; they should have stayed open later...

Are you talking about Harry's BBQ? If you are they opened up a new location next to HH I believe.

[vdogg]

Yes,

so they moved around the corner...Any reason why?

People shoot people guns don't (hide comment)

I sat my gun on my desk and said to it...shoot now! It just sat there. I swore it looked at me like I had three heads. I then put on some hip hop music hoping it would react but it did not. I tried heavy metal, classic rock and even Mozart's New World Symphony in C minor and it still just sat there. Huh? I don't understand. Am I missing something?

^^^^This quote had me cracking up.

This argument has many flaws, but the most glaring is that Dvorak wrote the New World symphony and it's in E minor.

[rusthebuss]

Not to get too far off-topic but i'm actually a supporter of gun control. I just quoted it because I thought it was a pretty good joke. On a serious note I understand that the issue goes far deeper than that and I don't really agree with his opinion.

Club Sevens finally opens

WHILE PARTY PEOPLE hold their breath for the return of Granby Theater, the street that seemed to feel lost without it gets a jolt this weekend as the long-awaited Club Sevens opens.

It’s unlike anything else in Hampton Roads, except for the similarly swank-but-youthful Granby Theater, which is expected to re open later this month.

What can people expect to see when it opens Saturday on downtown Norfolk’s Granby Street?

With four floors, the space has a modern but funky feel; there are many hues throughout, walls with varying textures, furniture in all kinds of shapes and rooms with themes and names.

Those reduced hours and occupancy are only during weekdays, not weekends. They're also no longer allowed to throw hip hop events.

"no hip hop"

What? No rabbits allowed?

Also: no Louis Andreissen, Carl Stone, or Bang on a Can All Stars? ---no contemporary classical artists who employ hip hip or elements of rap occasionally?

Is this Amerika?

[brikkman]

This sucks a big one. I was planning an event & Granby was our number one locale. The problem is we ARE going to have hip hop. It's a charity dance sponsored by the graduate/alumni chapters of my fraternity in the area. The crowd is to include doctors, lawyers, congressmen, professors and other professionals but now we can't use the venue we wanted. This is hilarious to me. I wonder if the stipulation is as open as no hip hop events?
