Yo T, I love this - great effort ! Why don't you put on your thinking cap to give us a list of places that should step up to replace these lost gems. It don't have to go 15 deep, but give us the top 5.

I'll kick this off, and I don't want to steal T's thunder, but just getting it rolling:

1) Ann Arbor - in any part of the proper down town area. Let's do it at night, with people lined up on the streets and preems galore. The AAVC does a great job with what they are doing. Let's get them involved to get this going.
