I heard it was being shut down. I checked around and yes, the most kick ass venue around is being shut down. But I heard that it wasn't being shutdown totally, but moved to a new location. I heard this new location is Rancho Cucamonga, CA (which happens to be exactly where I live). Anyone hear about this? Can anyone tell me if it's really being moved to Rancho?

PS- they shoulda kept it in Corona. WTF is up with that? Showcase is an awesome place AS IS. I dont mind driving the 15 minutes to get to the original location

Could it be a situation like the one that CBGB ran into? Their lease was up and because the property value of the area it was in had went up the property owner wanted to jack their payments up if they renewed the lease. They apparently looked for a new location and it never happened so CBGB is no more. (at least that was the last I had heard.)

Something like that. From what I understand, the city of Corona is renevating the area and has re-zoned the area. So showcase cannot stay because it isn't zoned to throw shows there or some legal technicality like that

thats pretty much what happened. the city bought it out and told them that they have to move else where. And I'm pretty sure that they're moving to Rancho. Which kind of sucks for me, I'm in Riverside and all the local venues are closing around here!

yeah. that sucks. but...

Rancho has NO real all ages venues (except the facist church venues that only allow screamo/ newhardcore to play). It'll be awesome to finally have one here but I doubt it'll be as cool as the original.
