I would love to see "The Spot" return.

Neo -- the Spot was on Eutaw Street, just north of Lex Market, right?
I think I moved to Baltimore right after it closed.
I actually used to live near there.

Sam,
You're thinking of Da "B" Spot. Not The Spot. The Spot used to be on Boston Street, I'm 99% sure where Kamp is. It was fantastic and used to host DJs most nights with some great Drum 'n Bass nights and some live bands as well. This was at the end of the 90s. I think that it closed in 2002 or so.

The Spot closed and then it became Fusion and then it became Kamp.
I wish it would return to The Spot.
