As a fervent admirer of music and concerts, it is disheartening to witness the closure of the only music venue in Bayonne. For years, Lot 13 has been a home for all kinds of people and styles of music, from indie to hip-hop to rock and metal and more, it's been the only place the people of Bayonne could express themselves on stage.

Lamentably, Lot 13's lively tunes have fallen silent due to an expired liquor license that has been left abandoned. This closure has left a hole in the cultural spirit of Bayonne, leaving emerging artists devoid of a platform to showcase their talents. 

As Bayonne's uniquely communal music venue, Lot 13 provided a needed space for burgeoning artists. With the closure of Lot 13, Bayonne's artists are left without a platform to perform, interact, and grow. 

With all of the new developments happening in and around Bayonne, we should have a place for our cultural arts to grow and be appreciated.

We call upon the owner of the venue and respective authorities to reinstate Lot 13's liquor license, reviving the music scene in Bayonne and ensuring the city's young artists aren't left voiceless.
