Original subtitles

A secretive complex in Bulgaria, part of a global information war.

WOMAN:These communist states were willing to do anything

to stop people telling the truth.

A French compound where a staggering deception was launched.

What unfolded was one of the great spy stories of the Second World War.

An iconic Philadelphia venue

that set the stage for era-defining artists.

All these famous entertainers, it was electric in here.

And a mansion in Malaysia, the scene of a baffling crime.

MAN:This house was the site of a brutal killing.

His body was found with a shotgun wound to the back of the head.

80 miles from the Bulgarian capital Sofia

is a hidden facility,

the propaganda mouthpiece of a repressive regime.

MAN:There's forest as far as the eye can see.

It feels remote, out of the way,

the perfect place to hide something.

MAN 2:Then out of trees rises this structure.

The whole thing has an ominous feel.

WOMAN:It's massive and concrete.

It is one of these Eastern European communist monoliths.

Among the derelict remains,

there are clues to why it was built in such an isolated location.

Inside, it's been virtually stripped to the walls,

but there's a few hints that it was a highly technological structure.

There are these channels cut into the floor,

maybe for pipes or cables.

You can also see platforms

that look like the bases for some kind of machinery.

It has its own power line leading to it,

so clearly, whatever happened here

required an enormous amount of electricity.

Could this have been some kind of secret government office

or military research facility?

It was created to fight a disinformation campaign

from deep behind the Iron Curtain.

But when the West gained the edge,

this Cold War confrontation turned hot.

The Bulgarian Government's control over information

was so complete and so paranoid,

they were even willing to launch

a daring assassination in the streets of London.

SPEAKING BULGARIAN:

Spiridon Harizanov began working here as a technician

in September 1988,

when Bulgaria was part of the communist Soviet bloc.

Construction on this high security government complex began in 1974.

But it was designed to take part in a fight

that began decades earlier.

The Cold War was as much a political

and ideological battle as a military confrontation.

As the Eastern and Western superpowers were facing off

with their nuclear arsenals,

another unseen battle was unfolding

over the airwaves.

These structures were part of communist Bulgaria's attempt

to convert the world to their way of thinking,

using international radio broadcasting.

SPEAKING BULGARIAN:

This complex had enough power, it was said,

to broadcast a shortwave signal six times around the world.

The people who worked here would work in 24-hour shifts,

and the transmissions went all through the year,

even on holidays, 24 hours a day.

SPEAKING BULGARIAN:

This is the Padarsko Radio Centre.

Transmissions from here included speeches

by the country's leader, Todor Zhivkov,

praising Bulgaria as a socialist workers' paradise,

The reality was very different.

HARIZANOV, IN BULGARIAN:

People were not permitted to know anything

that their dictators didn't want them to know.

So Western nations set up operations to broadcast

to various countries behind the Iron Curtain.

There were stations like the Voice of America,

Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty and the BBC

which all beamed programming direct into Bulgaria

and the Soviet Union.

NUSBACHER:And all of these radio stations are designed

to have real journalists sending real news

to parts of the world where all they were fed

was government propaganda.

SPEAKING BULGARIAN:

They also broadcast a lot of interviews

with political leaders like President Eisenhower

or John F Kennedy,

entertainers like Elizabeth Taylor and Tom Jones,

civil rights leaders including Martin Luther King.

But it wasn't just American voices and celebrities

that were beaming into Bulgaria.

Exiles and dissidents were brought in

to broadcast their criticisms of the regime back into the country.

Help us to keep our young people

from falling under the influence of the communists.

In 1969, one of these political opponents fled to the West.

From there, he took to the airwaves

attacking the Bulgarian regime.

His name was Georgi Markov.

SELWOOD:He had settled in England,

where he worked for Radio Free Europe,

the BBC and other radio stations,

broadcasting back into his home country.

SPEAKING BULGARIAN:

NUSBACHER:Markov is being very pointed

in his criticism of the Bulgarian government,

and of Todor Zhivkov, who was the Bulgarian dictator.

Markoff is a very dangerous nuisance.

Fearing his shows would incite a rebellion,

Bulgarian authorities turned to facilities like Padarsko.

SPEAKING BULGARIAN:

MEIGS:During shows they thought were particularly damaging,

like Markov's shows,

they would tune to that channel,

broadcast on the same frequency interfering noise,

music, crazy sounds.

MAN ON RADIO: Here's the Soviet government's

$120 million a year direct answer to Radio Liberty.

Jamming.

MEIGS:And they didn't just do it from this station,

they had transmitters across the country

that existed just to block out signals coming in from the West.

According to one estimate,

the Soviet government spent over $900 million a year

to block Western broadcasts.

This was more than the combined global budgets

of the radio stations they were trying to block out.

But even with this huge investment,

they weren't that successful at blocking these transmissions.

A person could arrange their antenna in a certain way,

or maybe drive out in the countryside,

and they could often wind up hearing these broadcasts.

SPEAKING BULGARIAN:

Georgi Markov's blistering criticisms of the Bulgarian leader,

broadcast from London, continued to be heard.

MEIGS:The Bulgarian authorities were so outraged

at Markov's transmissions...

they were really hitting home with the Bulgarian public...

..that they took a desperate measure.

SELWOOD:On September the 7th 1978,

Markov was walking across London's Waterloo Bridge,

heading for his job at the BBC.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his leg,

as if he'd been stung by an insect.

NUSBACHER:When that happened, he saw somebody bend over

and pick up an umbrella and walk away.

And he thought no more about it.

MEIGS:But, by that evening, he was deathly ill

and went to the hospital.

They couldn't really figure out what was wrong with him,

except for a tiny puncture in the back of his leg,

but four days later, he was dead.

NUSBACHER: There is a widespread theory

that a Bulgarian Secret Service officer

had an umbrella capable

of injecting a pellet of ricin poison

into Markov's leg,

and the poison killed him.

Every word he said over the radio

was damaging to the Bulgarian Communist Party.

Markov had to be stopped, and he was.

Across the West, the attack was front page news.

But in Bulgaria, the official line was complete silence.

SPEAKING BULGARIAN:

Markov's killers were never bought to justice,

and Padarsko continued to operate

until a wave of democratic protests

finally toppled the regime in the late 1980s.

HARIZANOV, IN BULGARIAN:

In 1990, Todor Zhikov was arrested

and put on trial for corruption and abuse of power.

He died while under house arrest eight years later.

This facility was still used to transmit Radio Bulgaria

for another couple of decades.

SPEAKING BULGARIAN:

MEIGS:No one has nostalgic memories of this facility,

no one is organising fundraising

to restore it or turn it into a park or museum.

It sits here, out in the forest, abandoned.

A bad memory of a very dark time.

In Malaysia's Penang Province,

tales of haunting and violence swirl around an isolated relic.

MEIGS:We're in a lush tropical area,

and at first, all you see is trees, it looks like an unbroken forest.

WOMAN:In the middle of it all is this large, imposing ruin.

Clearly, no one has lived here for a very long time.

But the sparse interior does hold evidence of who built this place.

SELWOOD:You can tell it was once a luxurious residence

for a very wealthy person,

but it doesn't look like a traditional Malay building.

It's been built from heavy stone with palatial European features.

It was constructed using the profits from an incredible resource boom.

But, as a family tried to reassert dominance over this land,

it became the scene of a twisted crime.

WOMAN:It's one of Malaysia's most famous unsolved murders,

but there are no shortage of theories.

MAN:This is what we call a secret, mysterious place.

You could feel the presence of something in the past.

When Clement Liang first visited this grand ruin,

locals told him about a spirit they believe still stalks these halls.

LIANG:When I came here in 2006,

there was actually a picture of a Hindu god on the staircase.

So I was curious and asked the caretaker, "Why you did it?"

"Oh, the spirit of John is still around.

"We need to have some deity to console his spirit."

John's full name was John St Maur Ramsden.

He was part of a colonial dynasty

that controlled vast amounts of land in British Malaya in the 1870s.

SELWOOD:At first, the estate grew sugar cane,

but a technological advancement

would lead to a far more lucrative crop being grown here.

This radical transformation began with a revolutionary discovery

made more than 9,000 miles away in the United States.

MEIGS:In the mid 19th century, a self-taught American chemist

named Charles Goodyear started tinkering with rubber

to try to make it more durable and tougher and more elastic.

Eventually, he came across a formula that was stretchy

but could return to its original shape.

There was nothing quite like it.

Rubber very quickly became

one of the most in-demand products in the world.

Malaysia turned out to be one of the best places to grow rubber,

and, within a few years,

was making more than a third of the world's supply.

LIANG:The Ramsden family changed all this

into a huge rubber plantation.

Instead of travelling from Britain themselves,

they hired managers to run the estates.

This building was built in 1917

to be the administration,

and also the residence for the managers.

One thing about the British,

they also liked to build huge buildings, mansions like this,

to show the power and the authority.

So a grand building here

would assert a kind of authority over the plantation workers.

This was the jewel in the crown of the plantation,

and it was called Caledonia House.

For decades, demand for rubber continued to grow,

and from their luxurious mansion,

the Ramsden family's managers oversaw an increasingly diverse workforce.

MEIGS:As the economy grew, it pulled in

hundreds of thousands of immigrants from China and elsewhere,

who mixed with the indigenous Malaysian population.

ROSE:The family were raking in the cash.

At the time, it was said to be

the most valuable European holding in British Malaya.

But this massive wealth was being watched jealously from overseas.

And soon, war would bring disaster to Caledonia Plantation.

On December the 8th 1941,

almost simultaneously with their attack on Pearl Harbor,

the Japanese army invaded British Malaya.

MEIGS:Malaya had enormous resources,

including these rubber plantations.

Those were vital for Japan's military efforts.

They swept through the country at lightening speed,

and after just three months,

the unprepared British surrendered in Singapore.

Caledonia was now under Japanese occupation.

But the British would go to great lengths

to regain control of the valuable colony.

MEIGS:They needed to find help wherever they could,

and in many countries, there were insurgent groups

fighting the occupiers.

Many of these groups were inspired by communist ideology,

but the Allies decided to fund them

and support them and give them weapons,

because they needed that help behind enemy lines

to undermine the Japanese.

With the communists' help, Japan was finally defeated in 1945.

But when Britain returned to Malaya,

these guerrilla fighters switched their focus

from one colonial oppressor to another.

LIANG:The British wanted these guerrillas

to surrender their weapons,

but they wanted to liberate Malaya from the British control.

So they actually started a war again.

To these insurgents, families like the Ramsdens

were the ultimate symbol of colonial exploitation.

In the face of this growing armed resistance,

there was still money to be made,

and the Ramsden family returned to the ruins of Caledonia.

SELWOOD:The patriarch of the family

sent his son John to repair the estate.

He went right to work, getting the rubber trees planted,

and the latex harvested, and just putting things right.

SELWOOD:He is said to have treated the plantation workers well,

offering them lavish dinners at the house

and having their children driven to school in his car.

ROSE:But no matter how good

his relationship with the workers might have been,

at the end of the day, this was a colonial enterprise

that was built on racism and inequality.

Two years after John Ramsden arrived here,

these tensions came to a head.

LIANG:On the 8th of June 1948,

it was a hot, steamy evening.

John just finished his work.

He was staying here alone.

And he walked back,

and he was about to climb up the stairs.

Two gunshots were heard. Bang, bang!

The estate watchman and three plantation workers

heard the shots and rushed inside.

And they all found John lying on this staircase

with blood gushing out.

And he died, right on this spot.

When the police arrived,

they began combing the mansion and its grounds for evidence.

Outside, they found two spent shotgun shells

underneath one of the rubber trees.

MEIG:Very quickly, John Ramsden's murder

got connected with a much bigger story.

Over the following couple of weeks,

other overseers of plantations in Malaysia were also killed.

And these killings were connected with

the communist insurgency that was sweeping the islands.

The British planters were seen as their target,

cos they represent the British authority

exploiting the local workers.

So there are some saying that yes,

John was also murdered by these communist guerrillas.

But William Haines,

the police officer in charge of this investigation,

was far from convinced that this was a political assassination.

He believed evidence uncovered at the murder scene

pointed towards an inside job.

SELWOOD:Near the body, they found a pair of shoes

that didn't seem to belong to anybody working at the residence.

LIANG:They found out later these shoes belonged

to a worker by the name of Mohammad Ramjan.

ROSE:It seemed like an open and shut case,

but he claimed he'd been framed.

MEIGS:Another suspect was John Ramsden's driver,

and it was said that Ramsden was having an affair

with the driver's sister,

so he might have had a powerful motive for the killing.

Both Mohammad Ramjan and the driver were arrested.

But with only circumstantial evidence implicating the pair,

they were eventually released.

On the 3rd of September 1948,

87 days after John's murder,

the investigation was called off.

LIANG:So we're still wondering who actually killed Mr John Ramsden.

It's still a big, big mystery.

SELWOOD:Back in Britain, the Ramsden family were so heartbroken

that they ordered the liquidation of all of their holdings in Malaya,

including the Caledonia plantation.

After a long and brutal insurgency against British rule,

in 1963, the independent country of Malaysia was established.

And Caledonia House was left to ruin.

ROSE:After its abandonment,

life for Caledonia House went from bad to worse.

SELWOOD:In 2020, a fire ripped through the property,

and later, a commercial crane working nearby

tipped over and smashed through the roof.

LIANG:Caledonia House has such a significant historical value

that I hope people one day would be able

to not only save it but restore the whole building

and let us know more about the history of this place.

In the French capital,

a decaying compound holds secrets of an extraordinary deception.

We're in the quiet outskirts of Paris,

and, under this looming broadcast tower

is a collection of buildings that look significantly older.

This feels institutional, or perhaps military.

But as you look closer, you notice something more sinister.

WOMAN:Built into these walls are rows of casemates,

but instead of windows, they have heavy iron bars.

These were clearly repurposed as prison cells.

But who were they keeping here?

During the Second World War, thousands were detained here.

But one man would escape these walls

and do untold damage to the Nazi regime.

NUSBACHER:He convinces British counterintelligence

that he really is a German spy

who is willing to be a double agent.

MAN:He would become one of the most notorious spies

of his entire generation.

He was known as Agent Zigzag.

Thomas Fontaine has spent decades

uncovering the story of this decaying fortification.

FONTAINE SPEAKING FRENCH:

It was built in the 1830s

as part of a ring of defences around Paris.

But these days, it's not known for its protection of the city,

but rather something far more menacing.

NUSBACHER:In May and June of 1940,

the German armed forces very rapidly encircled

the French and British armies in northeastern France.

The French state surrenders.

Paris was under occupation.

MAN:Here on the edge of the city was a valuable asset,

and the Germans weren't gonna let that go to waste.

The Nazi occupiers quickly transformed it

from a place to keep enemies out into a facility to contain them.

This is Fort de Romainville.

FONTAINE, IN FRENCH:

One of those inmates

was an English petty criminal called Eddie Chapman.

Eddie Chapman was a British criminal

who led a lavish life in London,

supported by the forging of cheques and burglary.

In 1939, he was arrested and sent to prison in Jersey.

In the summer of 1940,

Germany invaded and occupied the Channel Islands, including Jersey.

Chapman was briefly released,

but then rearrested on suspicion of working for the resistance.

NUSBACHER: So, Chapman is sent to prison.

And where is he sent to prison? Not in Jersey.

They send him to France, they send him to Fort Romainville.

FONTAINE, IN FRENCH:

MITCHELL:There was no contact with the outside world,

rations were strict,

and prisoners could be executed without any explanation or warning.

AUERBACH:Chapman realised he wasn't gonna survive this place,

and, four months into his imprisonment, he found a lifeline.

His salvation came from a shadowy Nazi organisation,

the Abwehr, Germany's intelligence service.

FONTAINE, IN FRENCH:

NUSBACHER:From the beginning of the Second World War,

the Germans had tremendous difficulty

recruiting agents in England.

So the German intelligence people go to Chapman

and they say, "Can you go and be a German agent?"

Chapman accepts the German intelligence offer.

And he's told that he needs to blow up

the de Havilland aircraft factory in England.

After some training in spy craft and a new nickname, Little Fritz,

Chapman departed on his first mission.

On the 16th of December 1942,

Chapman parachuted into Britain.

He was carrying a radio, a pistol,

a cyanide pill and close to £1,000 in cash.

On the morning of the 1st of February 1943,

British newspapers reported an unexplained explosion

at the de Havilland factory.

NUSBACHER:As far as the Germans are concerned,

this new agent of theirs, Mr Chapman,

is now the great star of the German intelligence service.

But he had been conning German intelligence from the very start.

For Chapman, the idea of being able to get out of jail...

Well, he'll do anything, won't he?

And as soon as he gets on the ground,

as soon as he has a chance,

he tells British counterintelligence what he is up to.

So, in order to build his credibility,

the British armed forces

simulate the destruction of the de Havilland factory.

They arrange the fake sabotage of the airplane plant

using an illusionist and a planted story in the newspaper.

Nazi intelligence bought the lie.

Chapman returned to Germany under the guise

of having pulled off a successful attack.

He was given a massive payment and the Iron Cross,

the only British citizen ever to receive the award.

Believing he was their best agent,

he was soon tasked with a new mission.

MITCHELL:Chapman was parachuted again into Britain in June of 1944

to report on the accuracy of the V-1 and V-2 rockets

being fired across the Channel.

NUSBACHER:He tells his British controllers what the job is,

and British counterintelligence

calculate exactly how wrong

they want the German aim to be.

Chapman was one of the most successful double agents

of the entire war.

In November 1944, he was dismissed by British intelligence

and continued his civilian life in London.

By this time, the French prison where he had been recruited by the Nazis

had been transformed.

It was now a transit camp for French resistance fighters.

SPEAKING FRENCH

Before they left, they were held in the fort's dank casemates.

FONTAINE, SPEAKING FRENCH:

These were the last records many of these people would leave behind.

More than 3,800 women were detained here

before they were sent to Nazi concentration camps.

Fort de Romainville was finally liberated

by the Allies in August 1944,

and it was abandoned by the French military in the early 2000s.

After his dismissal by British intelligence,

Eddie Chapman continued living life on his own terms,

spending his time in the company of glamorous women,

and becoming embroiled in a gold smuggling operation.

Since 1945, Parisians have held ceremonies here

to remember those imprisoned and deported from Romainville.

Plans are underway to transform parts of the fort into a museum.

FONTAINE, SPEAKING FRENCH:

In the US state of Pennsylvania is a faded landmark,

once the life and soul of an uptown district.

MAN:We're on the north side of Philadelphia,

on a busy road flanked by offices and shops.

WOMAN:One building along this strip stands out,

and it looks like it's from a different era.

ROSE:From its design,

with its ornate brickwork and detailed carvings,

you can tell that this was a building of importance

to the surrounding community.

WOMAN:There remains part of a marquee

with the word "Uptown" written on it.

This was clearly some type of theatre or music venue.

Inside, the true extent of its ruin becomes clear.

ROSE:In the main room, there's a dramatic sight.

A gaping hole in the roof lets in enough light

to illuminate a huge open space.

You can make out dozens of rows of seats facing an elevated stage.

MAN:This may look forgotten now,

but in its heyday, this was part of a network

that spanned the whole of the East Coast

and fostered some of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century.

ROSE:Ray Charles, James Brown, Jackson Five,

this place played host to the Who's Who of American icons.

WOMAN:But this wasn't just a place for entertainment,

it was also a place for activism.

Wow. I haven't been here since the '70s.

It's amazing.

My mom worked here as a cashier.

I wasn't allowed in the booth, because she was handling money.

From the age of 14, Olivia Riley

spent many of her evenings and weekends in this theatre.

I was kind of famous... LAUGHS

..because everybody knew she was my mother.

They kind of hung around me

because they can get in for free.

It was a lot of excitement,

because you were lookin' forward to seein' all the acts.

They were all up-and-coming and famous artists.

From its earliest days,

this was the cultural heart of the neighbourhood.

It was built in the late 1920s,

an era of rapid expansion in the city.

JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING

Philadelphia was one of the most important

manufacturing centres in the world.

WOMAN:Factories and warehouses dotted this area,

and soon neighbourhoods of row homes were built

in order to accommodate the workers.

ROSE:As newcomers poured in,

there was an increase in demand for entertainment venues.

On the 16th of February 1929,

Warner Brothers Studios opened

the lavish 2,000 seat Uptown Theatre.

ROSE:They spared no expense. It had terracotta facades,

stained-glass windows and velvet seats.

MAN:This was a luxurious way to watch movies for everyone,

from the city's wealthy industrialists

to working-class families.

On its opening night,

crowds flocked to see On Trial starring Pauline Frederick.

It was the perfect choice

to showcase the Uptown's cutting-edge design.

BELL:Hollywood was riding high on the success of silent films,

and the Warner Brothers Studio decided to take a gamble

on a revolutionary new development,

speaking films, known as talkies.

GUTIERREZ-ROMINE:This theatre was specifically wired for sound.

The audio quality here was second to none.

It seemed destined for success,

but just eight months after it opened,

the country was struck by disaster.

The Wall Street Crash.

GUTIERREZ-ROMINE:This recession resulted in the collapse

of most of Philadelphia's manufacturing industry,

and over the next few decades,

many of its residents fled to the suburbs.

But a change was coming to this neighbourhood

that would give it a second life

and a brush with stardom. JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING

GUTIERREZ-ROMINE:In 1952, theatre mogul Samuel H Stiefel

bought the Uptown with plans to completely repurpose it.

BELL:By this time, with migration from Southern states,

North Philadelphia had become a vibrant hub

of African-American culture and arts.

ROSE:It had incredible acoustics

left over from its days as a movie theatre,

and Stiefel saw an opportunity

to put it to new use as a music venue.

GUTIERREZ-ROMINE: But the Uptown Theatre

wasn't the only one of its kind.

Rather, it was part of a circuit

that stretched across the entire East Coast.

Along with the Apollo in New York,

and the Howard Theatre in Washington DC,

and the Regal in Chicago, and many others,

this made up what was called the Chitlin' Circuit.

RILEY:Because of racism, African-American acts

couldn't perform in certain areas,

so they would do the Chitlin' Circuit.

BELL:The Chitlin' Circuit gave so many Black entertainers a chance

during the era of Jim Crow,

when they were barred from white mainstream venues.

This stage would play host

to some of the era's most legendary Black performers.

I saw every show at least two times.

I didn't miss a show.

I saw the Jackson Five,

James Brown,

Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes

and Marvin Gaye, I saw him so many times.

But my favourite was the Isley Brothers

because that was a part of history.

At the end of their act they just started singing "Shout",

and every time they sang "Shout!" they'd jump,

everybody in the audience would jump, it was electrifying.

Ron Isley created that song, that night that I was here.

ROSE:These acts would come for a few days, or even a week,

playing shows around the clock

for a ticket price as low as 50 cents.

That's still only a little more than five bucks in today's money.

BELL:On Saturdays, sometimes,

they'd even do five or six shows back-to-back.

Tens of thousands of people came through this auditorium in the 1960s,

and the theatre gained a reputation

as one of the country's most iconic venues.

If there was one man responsible for a lot of the Uptown's success,

it was the promoter, Georgie Woods.

RILEY:He had a nice voice, he had a beautiful personality

and he captured a lot of people's attention,

he drew a big crowd, so they made him the MC.

GUTIERREZ-ROMINE:He was known for bringing in incredible performers

at incredibly low prices.

it was reported that he got the Supremes

to play for ten days for $400.

But Woods was not just a radio DJ, MC and promoter.

He was a passionate advocate for civil rights.

In 1963, he helped charter 21 buses to take Philadelphians

to Dr Martin Luther King Jr's historic march on Washington.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That same year, he used the Uptown to support the cause.

GUTIERREZ-ROMINE:Georgie Woods saw the Uptown Theatre

not just as an entertainment venue, but as a vehicle for change.

BELL:Woods began organising what he called freedom shows,

fundraisers for civil rights organisations

right across the country.

These star-studded concerts provided much needed funds

for charities and civil rights organisations.

And Woods' contribution to the movement

was soon recognised on the stage where it all began.

He was even honoured by the NAACP

in a ceremony held right here at the Uptown.

But the success of the civil rights movement

in ending segregation across the country

would have unintended consequences for the Uptown Theatre.

Some say that after integration,

when Black performers could go to more venues,

the importance of places like this on the Chitlin' Circuit declined.

In 1972, Georgie Woods stopped producing shows here.

And, as many residents left for the suburbs

over the following years, its fate was sealed.

RILEY:It closed because of the neighbourhood changing,

I think that's what really happened.

The Uptown Theatre finally shut its doors in 1978.

In 2001, the Uptown Entertainment and Development Corporation

purchased the building.

They now hope to breathe new life into this ageing structure.

RILEY:The plans is to get the Uptown renovated,

restore it for the community.

A lot of things happened here.

The performers, they couldn't have made it

unless they made it here at the Uptown.

Everybody remembers coming here, so it should be open.
