sweet brand new art & music space right next to the train:
[2 blocks from Union St. R subway & near Carrol St. G/F]

Think of a cross between a mini-PS1 & Galapagos.  Beautiful indoor and enclosed outdoor space with some green eco-design elements like used tires for sound baffling.  Feels as much like an art gallery as it does a music/performance venue.
