Kokomo is often maligned for what people say is a lack of the cool and the cultured. But, that's not entirely true. Last Saturday night was an example: a good band in a very distinctive, family-friendly outdoor venue. Local favourite Joe Cameron was performing on the outdoor stage at The Quarry. The setting is an ample, raised, concrete stage backed by a wall of random stones viewed from a courtyard with tables, well manicured grass and a small pond. Kokomo does have other cool settings, but it has also lost some because of lack of support. This gem needs to be kept.
