Janet Ridgeway opened the Echo Lounge in East Atlanta on Oct. 31, 1998 as a musician friendly club and closed in early 2005. When it closed it was one of the last remaining mid-sized rock venues in the area. The stage saw the likes of popular indie-rock acts such as the White Stripes, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Drive-By Truckers.
The Echo Lounge was forced to close when city officials realized it was operating on a restaurant license but didn't have a kitchen.
