I think so too. Tony Bennett and the like! That seems overly ambitious for our size town. Even in major cities, performing arts centers that attract that level of talent struggle to survive, and almost always end up subsidized with tax money. I love the idea of upgrading from Savannah! But let's be realistic. I don't mind driving to Orlando to see a Tony Bennett, Paul McCartney, et. al. Show me the numbers that say a town of 100,000 people can support that. Show me some examples.
