Goodbye to The Point
May 23rd, 2005 by JoshPhilebrity seems to think this is a good thing, but I for one am quite sad that the Bryn Mawr music and coffee institution, The Point, is closing.
Kardon opened the Point in October 1998, inspired by the Main Point, the pioneering coffeehouse two doors away from 1964 to 1981. The Main Point was an earlier showcase for such unknowns as Billy Joel, Bonnie Raitt and Bruce Springsteen. The Point, meanwhile, has been the first place many Philadelphians saw Vanessa Carlton, Norah Jones and Howie Day.
UPDATE: One of my favorite new artists is playing The Point 1 week before it closes. Go check out Eric Hutchinson and see him on the 18th. You can stream his whole EP here.
