        <![CDATA[
        The former Central Station, now the Greater Manchester Exhibition Centre, hosted many of the city's biggest concerts from the mid-80s until the MEN Arena took over in the late 90s. It was here in 1986 that the "Festival of the Tenth Summer"- headlined by New Order and The Smiths- was held 10 years on from the Sex Pistols concerts at the Free Trade Hall. James also famously requested that the world "Sit Down" at this venue.

<title>Sydney Opera House</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The Sydney Opera House is located at 33°51′25″S, 151°12′55″E in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is one of the most distinctive and famous 20th century buildings, and one of the most famous performing arts venues in the world. Situated on Bennelong Point in Sydney Harbour, with parkland to its south and close to the enormous Sydney Harbour Bridge, the building and its surroundings form an iconic Australian image. To some the spherical-sectioned shells are reminiscent of the flotilla of sailboats commonly cruising there. Tourists - mostly with little or no interest in opera - throng to the building in the thousands every week purely to see it.<br /><br /><a href="http://platial.com/post/41614">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>The Ritz</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The longest continuously running club in the city by a stretch. This not only provided a backdrop for the classic Mancunian movie "A Taste of Honey" from 1961 but was also the scene of The Smiths first concert in 1982. the Ritz was immortalised in verse by punk poet John Cooper Clarke in "Salomey Maloney". Local bands Doves and A Certain Ratio still play here. A tribute concert to Rob Gretton, manager of Joy Division and New Order and pivotal figure on the Manchester music scene was held on the 5th anniversary of his death in May 2004.

<title>Fox Theater, San Francisco</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Called "The Last Word", the Fox Theatre in San Francisco opened in 1929 as one of the grandest theatres ever built for the showing of motion pictures.

The Fox was designed by Thomas W. Lamb for William Fox, who made sure his wife, decorator Eve Leo Fox, was kept at arms length.

The Fox was meant to be a part of a large office complex, which was never finished.

According to "Great American Movie Theaters" by David Naylor, the Fox was similar, but more grand, in detail to two other Lamb designed theatres, the Midland in Kansas City, Missouri, and the Loew's Jersey in Jersey City. The Fox was apparently copied in 1932 by S. Charles Lee for the Los Angeles Theatre. The Los Angeles looks much like the Fox, just on a smaller scale.

Due to the decline in people going to the movies in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Fox was demolished and replaced by a modern skyscraper. Before demolition, the interior funishings and decorations were auctioned off. The books written about the Fox demolition are now considered rare and are worth over a hundred dollars for a single copy. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Into the life of San Francisco and all California, comes the Fox Theatre, art institute of amusements, as an addition to the artistic and pleasure-loving life of this great metropolis. You enter the wide swinging doors of this great Castle of Splendor, and behold the silent magic of life's mirror, the Screen, in creations of its finest magicians ...

... the thousand-throated organ, now whispering in gentle melody, now reverberating in mighty thunder 
... the orchestra, trained musicians with fingers the soul of genius, in caprice of syncopation, in mysteries and moods of exquisite harmony 
... a myriad of multicolored lights 
... architectural beauties 
... soft miles of carpeted wonder in lounge and foyer, in lobby and orchestra, in lounge and balcony 
... Aladdin-like elevators that gently whisk you to balcony, and back again 
... the vast magnificence of the palace of a king 
... the swift and silent service of minute men, couriers of ushering attention 
Not king, nor emperor, nor Cress could command more! The Fox Theatre, latest link in the ever-growing chain of Fox West Coast Theatres, dedicated to California, for your everlasting enjoyment!
