croc bites it
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports this morning that the Crocodile Cafe has closed its doors and told its employees not to return to work. Thus ends another classic Belltown establishment; I recall similar feelings of shock and dismay when Sit & Spin closed, and the 211 Club.
Fun bands I saw at the Croc over the years include the Model Rockets, Huge Spacebird, and Martin Sexton. The joint will be missed by legions of music lovers.
