PLAN PHILLY: Zoning legislation that would allow developer David Grasso to transform a 7,600 square foot warehouse into a live music venue/performance space at Richmond and Beach streets in Fishtown is headed for a city council committee hearing with the planning commission’s recommendation for approval. Grasso and his team told planning commissioners that the venue, which would be operated by Live Nation, could hold up to 3,000 people and would host bands, comedy shows, live theater and corporate events. Not everyone is thrilled with Grasso’s plan, though. MORE
