Q: Is the new Marquee Club at the Fox Theatre based on the London’s famous Marquee Club? —Don White, Atlanta

A: The Fox Theatre’s Marquee Club is not based on any specific venue, Jamie Vosmeier, senior director of sales and marketing for the Fox Theatre, told Q&A on the News via email.

Vosmeier said there is no connection to London’s Marquee Club. The club was open from 1958 to 1995 and featured performanc­es from bands including the Rolling Stones.

“The name comes from the opportunit­y to see the iconic Fox marquee up close from our rooftop terrace,” Vosmeier told Q&A on the News in an email.

The 10,000-square-foot area with five bars opened in May.

Q: Is the Northside Hospital cancer center a certified member of the MD Anderson Cancer Network? —Audrey Valley, Sandy Springs

A: Northside Hospital’s Cancer Institute is not part of the MD Anderson Cancer Network, Katherine Watson, a Northside spokeswoma­n, told Q&A on the News.
