Boston music fans have feared the future of their favorite music venues ever since the news of Johnny D’s and TT the Bears’ closings. Today, we finally have some hope of growth. According to The Boston Globe, The Middle East may expand into the space that TT’s once occupied.

The venue that already offers four performing spaces, including Upstairs, Downstairs, Corner, and Zuzu, put down $7.1 million dollars last year to attain TT’s space and hold on to the buildings that they already occupy. The only thing standing in the way of expansion is neighborhood support. The Middle East asks locals to sign a petition on Change.org in order to show Cambridge that the public is in favor of more live music on the block. The goal is to receive 200 signatures and as of now, they are 32 away from that goal.
