The 7th Street Entry is a smaller venue (capacity 250) attached to the side of the historic First Avenue (capacity 1500) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This space was once used as a restaurant area in the bus station as well as a coat room before it became the music venue that is known today as "The Entry" among the locals. Formally the Greyhound Cafe, "The Entry" opened its door in March 1980 under the club Sam's as a venue that catered to more local bands. The 7th Street Entry is a venue where smaller and lesser known bands will play (more popular bands play the First Avenue mainroom). Several recordings have been recorded live at the Entry, including Hüsker Dü's first album Land Speed Record, the song "Cables" on Big Black's Atomizer album, Rifle Sport's live album Live at the Entry, Dead at the Exit, and Motion City Soundtrack's Commit This to Memory live DVD.

Famous quotes containing the words street and/or entry:
“Nothing makes a man feel older than to hear a band coming up the street and not to have the impulse to rush downstairs and out on to the sidewalk.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“All mothers need instruction, nurturing, and an understanding mentor after the birth of a baby, but in this age of fast foods, fast tracks, and fast lanes, it doesn’t always happen. While we live in a society that provides recognition for just about every life event—from baptisms to bar mitzvahs, from wedding vows to funeral rites—the entry into parenting seems to be a solo flight, with nothing and no one to mark formally the new mom’s entry into motherhood.”
—Sally Placksin (20th century)
