PI Update: Long Live 8TRAX!
Several views of 8TRAX taken in October, 2008 or 16 years ago. |
These were taken about a month-post closure when the 8TRAX name had been painted over but when the sun reflected just right, one could still see 8TRAX under the black paint. |
The lower entrance had 8TRAX removed from the 8-Track player at the rear door but the Pleasure Island name remained. Long live 8TRAX. |
