Boarding House Park

Me & some family & friend's went to see Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell last night & we were all pleased with the venue. No matter where you sit in the park has a great view of the stage. They do now check bag's & stuff but are very quick about it & only allow soft side cooler's & there's no alcohol allowed/served which is neither here nor there for me personally. There's a couple more show's I look forward to checking out here this season.

Best outdoor music venue in the area - HANDS DOWN! No jumbotrons or video monitors, no ridiculously-priced crappy food nor watered-down beer, no high-priced seating available only to the select few. No gestapo-like body searches. Kids under 12 get in free so folks can turn their youngins on to any manner of good music. If you have to smoke, you're not treated like a leper but, instead, directed to the comfortably close rear of the venue where you can puff away and still see/hear the stage. Cold IPA is available around the corner at Hookslide Kelly's and you can come and go from the venue as long as you're wearing your wrist bracelet.

This is a great place to see a show in the summer but they allow the sound board guys to smoke cigarettes like chimneys and won't do a damn thing about it.  I asked two different security people to stop those people from smoking (because they ANNOUNCE that it is a non-smoking venue) and they wouldn't do anything about it.   I had a great view but finally had to leave with my 3 children because my youngest has asthma.  Management made no restitution nor did they respond to my attempts to contact them.

If anyone enjoys breathing second hand cigarette smoke at a non-smoking venue then this is the place for you.
