And it came along at a time when popular music's center no longer held.

The center held an open house beginning on August 3, 2007.

Even when he was away for a day or two, the center did not hold quite as firmly.

Over the next week, the center will hold a number of events to mark the closing.

If there is too much of one element, then the center can no longer hold.

But there are signs that the center may not hold much longer.

"I think the financial center will hold in the metropolitan area," he said.

Each spring the center holds an auction of fine art.

The three centers hold about 600 people, some of whom have been in detention for more than a year.

The Center has since held other concerts by many famous artists.
