PI Update: Signs Of The Times

The backstory for Pleasure Island was on this plaque located on the Island side of the original No. 2 Bridge near Mannequins.
On the opposite side of the No. 2 Bridge was this directional sign.
One of the signs on the outside of Rock'N'Roll Beach Club. This remained in place long after the club closed.
Now located in its third location, the original Harley-Davidson store was located at the Hub between Mannequins and PI Live Bar.  This location originally housed clothing store Changing Attitudes and after H-D moved to the West Side, it was home to another clothing store, Apricot Lane.
Signs on the Comedy Warehouse building remained long after it closed too.
Pleasure Island's Waterfront was home to the Waterfront Stage which begat the Waterside Stage in Marketplace and later the newer Waterview Stage on the IslandArticle.
BET Soundstage Club became simply Soundstage Club when the sponsorship with BET expired. After the club closed, it too had signs remaining long afterwards.
Parking Lot F was located next to Mannequins!
Located on a fence at the eastern end on Pleasure Island, this sign presumably pointed in the direction of the clubs.
