The Newbridge Jazz Academy is mentioned a few times over the years (I think) but the key reference is the original Hammerhead call -- Sonny Rollins barely escaped his 1983 gig at that venue. 7/17/07.

Dershman discussed Panty Boys on 10/10/06.

Ahh, yes, when you mentioned Sonny Rollins it came back to me. And that was a good, sad, quick call from Troy, ha, listened to that last night. I've got some ideas for a couple more places that would probably fit right in on Old Muffler Row.

This is amazing and it's something I'd never have the patience to put together and if I could have a poster of this, I would.

Where would the Newbridge Debate Pavilion be?

It was definitely a bit daunting when I finally decided to go for it, but I feel like the toughest part is behind me. As enjoyable as listening to the calls is, it took a lot of time. It's one of those things that has to happen in real time you can't hurry up or find a more clever way of going about it. That and getting the initial street layout, it was almost like a logic puzzle...you have clues to where things should be and the occasional direct description of a location or intersection, trying to make everything work and make sense was kind of a challenge. Now it feels like a lot of grunt work to get the hundreds of buildings in, but it's not as brain burning to figure out.

I'm not sure about the Debate Center, it's quite a newer building having only been built in 2008, so it wouldn't be in downtown or necessarily very central...maybe near University State or on route 1362.

I guess this is good a place as any to ask, since I want to find it to see if there's more info to gleam for it's place in the map. I'm trying to find the call where the Newbridge Ten were discussed, I've been racking my brain and listening to callers that seem like the type, but haven't tracked it down. It was in regards to an infamous crime where people were kidnapped and held at a house by the caller's family and the caller ratted out everyone else to save himself.

Was this the same guy who also ratted out the cult of Satanists, who I believe were actually Unitarians or liberals? And it turned out that he was the only one who was actually a Satanist?

Wow, this is great.

How did I miss What's Sub, Dude? That is incredible. Anyone know what show/call that is from?

Hmm, I'm not positive, it doesn't sound immediately right, but clearly I'm fuzzy on the call in general. About halfway through I was really regretting not citing all the locations for easy access later. I remember a lot pretty well, but not everything.

ndmvhc: See previous statement...I could probably come up with it if I looked through the playlist for a few minutes...it  was mentioned as a sister/rival to the sub shop InSUBordinates which are both in the Shops of Newbridge Sulfur Mines..I think they were mentioned as being a place where a caller's associate (band member I believe) would frequent as a record breaking sub eater.

I believe that was Gordo Hansen of Black Tyger. He had a sub-eating rivalry with Rick from Tesla. Rick is a multi-state sub-eating champion and represents Blimpie's, while Gordo is pretty in with Subway. It was harmless at first but drove a wedge between the bands. He's not proud of it, but Gordo tried to poison one of Rick's subs.

I don't think that call was the source of the aforementioned establishments, unfortunately. Maybe a later Black/White Tyger call?

Ahh, dammit, you're right, just listened to the pertinent part of that call. Man, often I'd have the luck of my memory being jogged if I went back and looked at my Evernote list cause I'd recognize some other business on there and remember the show it came from so I'd have a rough range of when the show I'm looking for would be...but in this case I separated these sub shops in their own list under "Stores of Newbridge Sulfur Mines".

Well, in the mean time, while I try to track those sub shops down in the name of closure, here's a smallish map update. Some exciting additions (Kern Pharmaceuticals, the double C!) as I get all the factories and other large footprint structures on there. These are some pretty big landmarks, so any opinions on my placement is very welcomed and would be considered significantly. I toyed with the idea of Kern Pharm. being a towering skyscraper-esque building in downtown but settled on the idea of a compund being more interesting and sinister. And in my head, I always imagined Consolidated Cardboard and Consolidated Ball Bearings being in the same industrial park-type area..but others might not have pictured them like this. The legend is a bit out of date as I make it in another program that's easier to work with numbered text like this and then I drop it into Photoshop later, besides the additions mentioned in this thread I listened to the Don Klaumenzer call this morning and so added the Newbridge Diner at the Commons and the dump up in Potter's Woods.

Also after listening to that call I've considered modifying Muffler Row as Don and Tom describe it as being "pretty rough" and a place Tom tries to avoid having to head down. Which seems kinda counter to a lot of the assumed knowledge about Muffler Row where it sounds very much like a major thoroughfare and is nice enough for the Commons...it'll stay mostly as is, but I might shorten it so it's not such a major artery, maybe cut it off between Route 4 on the west and around the point where Main Street hits it on the east.

Just came across this one today, Garrett Wilson's One on One News...different story about the Newbridge Twelve, a group of "Satanists" he went undercover with and got arrested because of their satanic behavior...bikram yoga. Still on the hunt for the Newbridge Ten.
