We lasted six years!
Technically today March 4, 2013 is officially our 6 year anniversary. We are having a party honoring our 6 year anniversary on March 30th instead of today due to scheduling conflicts. Stay tuned for details and special events. We take great pride in polluting, disgracing and corrupting the city of Cleveland even more than it already was. It is small miracle that we made it this far when everyone including myself doubted we would make it this far. Thanks to all our loved and annoying patrons, incompetent staff, all the bands that have played here, all the freaks, panhandlers, drag queens, crackheads, deadbeats, misfits, VIP’s, nerds, rejects, close talkers & fallen heroes of NTC that make this place what it is. In honor of our 6 year anniversary, listen to this!
