WPRBasement Ceiling Destroyed (for the Greater Good?)
|
 |
Here at WPRB, we see our studio as a sanctuary from the “real world”, where we can get lost between the vinyl shelves and shamelessly stick questionable posters on the wall. Crucial to this haven is the studio’s structural integrity; the walls and ceilings that keep our little basement oasis alive.
Yet we also value our DJ’s safety, so when it came to our attention that this section of the ceiling was poising a fire hazard by weighing down the sprinklers, we knew it was time to say goodbye.
So farewell to this particular chunk of ceiling…you have served us well. May the garbage bags carrying the pieces of you that remain end up in the best dumpster.
