PI Update: Crossing The Island Ten Years Ago

Let's cross this bridge one more time to beautiful Pleasure Island.....in May, 2010!
More than 1.5 years after closing, Mannequins still looking damn good!
Turning right at the Hub, a snippet of Rock'n'Roll Beach Club and club Motion.
I spent all my time in Mannequins and 8TRAX.
I would drop by Motion at midnight for the "Cupid Shuffle" and "Cha Cha Slide"! But then back to Mannequins!
Looking up Hill Street.
A little construction action at Mannequins back door.
The 8TRAX front door.
Pleasure Island's Lombard Promenade was similar to Lombard Street in San Francisco. It led down to The Waterfront.
The 8TRAX alternate entrance was located down here as well. This would often be used as the main entrance to the club.
On crowded nights, the line for 8TRAX would extend to the very top of Lombard Promenade which is also where Adventurers Club was located along Hill Street.
Up here at West End Plaza, BET Soundstage was here along with.....
Comedy Warehouse. When you were at Pleasure Island, a good time was had by all.
