About me:

Once the entertainment hub of Clarksdale's New World District, the New Roxy has been vacant and decaying for many years. Having recently changed owners the New Roxy is being prepped for a new chapter in a long and interesting history. The New Roxy was built next to the original Roxy theater in 1950. Ike Turner once worked here and it's reported that Sam Cooke may have played in the Roxy. Stop by and see the Walk of Fame marker for Sam Cooke in the sidewalk or look for live music if it's festival time.

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone handy with a hammer, not afraid to get dirty and/or blessed with extra cash you'd like to share. Any one interested in helping to document oral histories or the restoration process.
