The Wellmont Theater in Montclair

About 10-15 years ago, the venue was getting some really good acts.

John Prine
Crosby, Stills, and Nash
Lyle Lovett

Today, the only notable prospect is Lewis Black in the spring.

the township changed the nature of the area by over developing the old Social Security building
across from it. It lost its funkiness - just more gentrifying the area. I've lived nearby for 44 years and have seen the charming character of Montclair change dramatically.

Didn't help. Of course, it was necessary.

We walked around downtown Montclair the other day and the new buildings are interesting.
