Been there for a century but wasn't actively used from 1978-2013. Was left to rot to the point that there was talk about tearing it down. Not unreasonable to think that people moved there during the 35 years that it was dormant not realizing it would be revived as a concert venue.

I live in the neighborhood and overall I'm on the side of the venue existing, but saying that people knew what they were getting into when they moved to the area isn't necessarily a fair or accurate take.
