[edit] More information!

• The Apollo has volumes of books written on it, I can't beleive this is all Wikipedia has. I guess blacks from Harlem, whom endear it most, aren't big on Wikipedia demographically

[edit] Different picture of the new marquee?

• I figure there should be a picture of the new LED marquee that doesn't have it displaying some cracker-white English band's name. :P If anyone else thinks the same and can find one in the public domain or figure out the other copyright issues before I do, go ahead and put one up! :) -Dan 04:55, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

The Gorillaz aren't really "cracker-white." They are cartoon characters, who are grey, yellow, brown, and green. And the real-life artists behind them are black, white, and Asian. You try walking up to Remi Kabaka or Del tha Funkee Homosapien and calling them crackers sometime. X-D But seriously, it'd be cool of you could get a pic that's a better fit. It'd be even better if you could get some shots of the other renovations while you are at it, the front and the screens and so on. This article could use some before-and-after photos.

I'm not really an expert on wikipedia or the Apollo but I think the "tree of hope" should be mentioned somewhere - http://www.bigapplejazz.com/tree_of_hope.htm

Agree about the tree of hope and the need for a more recent photo.futurebird 14:35, 27 October 2007 (UTC)and to cool for school
