No sooner had EPICENTER opened, than it had to move citing the high costs of rent. In the same newspaper Northwest Gay Review of July 1976, an additional article appeared with the headlines EPICENTER Opening – closing and still looking. See below Left. Then, It found a place at the Irwin Paul Building located at 1532 SW Morrison See below Right.
No press has been found concerning this event or the EPICENTER other than what has already been detailed. It appears EPICENTER lasted only one weekend.
Additional research needs to be done on this organization.
