The Fox came in at number 11.
The Fox Theater has been named by Rolling Stone magazine among "Venues that Rock," coming in at number 11 of 20. The article notes: Over time (and several preservation efforts), it evolved into a crucial stop for southern rock and beyond – Elvis Presley played here in 1956, Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1976, Adele in 2011. Do you agree with Rolling Stone that the Fox rocks? What's the best performance you've ever seen there? Tell us in the comment section below.

For some, celebrating a birthday is much more than being the celebrated person one day a year—because for them, their birthday actually only comes once every four years. Known as "Leap Year Babies," these special people were born on Feb. 29, a date that is only on the calendar once every four years. It arrives again Wednesday and here's some fun Leap Year Baby info from the Honor Society of Leap Year Babies. So, Midtown, any Leap Year Babies out there? If so, do you hate it when people ask how you celebrate that special day once every four years, or how you celebrate your birthday on every other non-Leap year? Stuff like that. Or maybe it's a conversation starter... If you are a Leap Year Baby, present your ID at the Whole Foods Market …
