Mill Ave Inc. is a documentary that essentially started when Nicholas Holthaus (known by most as Nico) started shooting video footage of bands and venues in the mid-late 90s, when it became apparent that a lot of venues along the legendary Mill Avenue would be closing its doors due to...a lot of things.

Take your pick: corporate muscling, community apathy, fear of terrorism, myopic planning, copycatting, smoking bans, ASU's techno-corporate expansionism...

It seems there was not one singular cause for the disintegration of Mill's culture and liveliness that people everywhere had come to enjoy. Or was there?
