Walking past the National yesterday I noticed workers. I stopped and talked to one of them, they said it would reopen as a concert venue sometime time next year. Has anyone else heard about this?

Lilpup, that thread you posted has good historic info about the national, but no current (like summer '06) info on plans for the theater.

Well I found a thread in which Detroit stylin had similar conversation with workers in May so the consistancy in stories is a good sign . Still, I find it odd that the possible renovation of such an important, historic structure could be so under the radar, you'd think there would at least be a formal announcement.

my various sources say it is a complete renovation - though i've heard live and film venue - however i believe it will be live. it has taken longer than planned for unexpected delays... (for example EVERY light on the front takes +/- a day to re-install, according to a source.)
