With the sad news that Southgate House is closing at the end of December, I wanted to begin to euologize the historic place the best way I know how, with memories. Below are my absolute favorite videos on YouTube from Southgate House, one or two are ours, most of them are yours, enjoy.

After going through the choices, there are simply way too many to post, but I hope you dig these. Feel free to link to your favorites in the comments.

About Joe Long

Joe started ENS in 2003 after most people he wanted to talk to about music were worn thin by his ramblings. The outlet this site provided helped out, and somehow is still going 9 years later. After a four year stint as a WOXY DJ, Joe returned to Cincinnati and continues to pioneer ENS. In addition to the overall look and feel of the site, Joe provides regular reviews, and kinda makes sure this whole thing stays afloat.
