Jimi Hendrix Park in Seattle

Jimi Hendrix has a park named after him.

Seattle has honored the late Jimi Hendrix with a park in his name. Jimi Hendrix Park sits next to the Colman School in the city's Central District, where the guitar legend grew up. Councilmember Jean Godden, who's been a prime force behind naming the park after Hendrix, said, "This recognition is long overdue. I'm delighted the city has finally found a fitting tribute to honor the significant historical and cultural contributions of one of our most famous native sons."

CBGB: Viva Las Vegas?

CBGB

Owner Hilly Kristal about moving his legendary NYC club to the middle of nowhere:

We want to take a lot of this stuff with us, and I think we're going to move to Las Vegas. I have some developers who have some really great space in the downtown area. So, I'd say sometime in spring we'll be in Las Vegas. It's a big undertaking, and these developers are putting the money into it, and I want to make sure that, for my benefit and theirs, we make this work. ... I don't have any choice. I have been looking for space in New York and the rent's $125,000 a month on Broadway.
