This is generally correct in terms of hiking, housing, bahn mi reviews, ect. I think even without a scene we are very fortunate for our venues when adjusting for size of city. Mr smalls, club Cafe, metal shows, Thunderbird, spirit, i think the more bluegrass bend one closed in southside... I would agree the hip hop is lacking. It's also very affordable to go to the smaller venues and we catch many artists traveling between dc/Philly and Chicago/Cleveland/Detroit
