Hell or Whitney Houston? 260-room Music Box opens beneath Ritan Park
On my way to Phil’s Pub last night, I passed a massive glowing red facade that could be only one of two things: 1) The Ritan Park portal to the depths of Hell or 2) the entrance to a 260-room subterranean KTV. Then again, some people might consider these one and the same.
