Guests in July, 2013 encountered numerous walls on their trek across Pleasure Island! |
But Laffers Cantina and Comedy Warehouse, both behind demolition walls, still stood. |
As did (right to left) the Lombard Promenade, Curl by Sammy Duval & 8TRAX! Notice at 8TRAX how there was the main club building in silver but also a front lowrise section. |
But by early August, Comedy Warehouse was gone! |
Reduced to rubble! |
Laffers remained standing.....for the moment. |
8TRAX wasn't touched.....for the moment! |
When I returned a week or so later, Laffers Cantina had been crunched! |
Then later in August, the 8TRAX demolition had begun! |
It looked like the whole club was coming down but little did we know then that they were only shaving off that front lowrise section! |
Demolition also began at Apricot Lane. |
And by September, it too was gone along with PI Live Bar! |
Meanwhile, construction of a bypass around the main section of PI foretold of major demolitions to come! Would BET Soundstage be next? Would Adventurers Club be next? Would Mannequins be next? |
By October, everything on that side of the Island was gone except 8TRAX & Mannequins! |
Things looked bleak even for Fuego by Sosa Cigars! |
But even then, there seemed to be hope for Mannequins! |
