Damage was estimated at about $100,000. Fox59 will have more at 4 p.m.

When I reviewed her earlier show, I said, “Don’t be surprised if old-school burlesque becomes the next big form of alternative entertainment here. Think roller derby without the risk of bruising.”
Thanks to Angel and her angels (both women and men), you’ll have a chance to experience the bumps and grinds for yourself at this and future shows at the recently opened Fountain Square venue. Details here.
