So everyone is talking about “Jillian’s” of Albany closing down. Everywhere I go lately, people are talking about it, on and off the computer. I’m sure you’re wondering about my thoughts on this. Quite honestly, I’m not surprised. Venues and clubs come and go around here. That’s how it always been in the Capital District. I may have been to Jillians like once or twice in my life, but honestly, my experiences there wasn’t very good. I pretty much hated being there, and thought the place was a shit hole, no offense, just an opinion.

Even the owner somewhat admitted it saying that “people are afraid to go there” and “lost customers”. People claimed it closed down ’cause of violence on Pearl St, but I don’t see how. There has to be a reason people stopped going there, right?

This just goes to show that the music scene is fading. No places to play anymore. Which is one of the reasons why I haven’t gigged out in a while.

Edit to add: Btw, I’m not trying to do any hating or trolling, just keeping it real. So no offense to the owner or anyone else that support it.
