Cherry Beach Sound was founded in 1982 by Carman Guerrieri , who continues to operate the studio today . The name references Cherry Beach , a local beach . The building that houses Cherry Beach Sound is called The Munition Factory , as it served as a munitions factory in the early 20th Century . Awarded with '' Mix 's '' " Best of 2005 " , Cherry Beach is a popular destination for artists and continues to attract entertainers such as 50 Cent , who filmed his 2005 film '' Get Rich Or Die Tryin ' '' at one of its studios .

To prevent the building from collapsing and to clean up fuel spill , structural engineers and a hazardous materials team were sent to handle the situation . There were no passengers on the bus and the driver escaped with minor injuries . The bus penetrated the building , destroying the front facade and damaging an interior main wall , requiring serious repair . The bus came to rest just inches from the studio 's recently constructed Control Room A , fortunately no one was in the building at the time . Soon after , the building was completely repaired and carried on business as normal
