PI Update: The Apricot Lane Warning

You may recall Apricot Lane, the small woman's clothing store that operated for a short time right next to the Mannequins building. We didn't know it at the time but its existence was a warning for what was coming. During the times of the Island's clubs, a similar clothing store called Changing Attitudes was located there and it was Disney owned & operated. But as we now know, Disney wanted out of those kinds of businesses and CA closed (before the clubs did) and Orlando Harley Davidson took over the prime spot. OHD would later relocate to the West Side and Apricot Lane arrived here, opening in August, 2011 and not even painting over the colors of the prior Harley store.

Apricot Lane didn't last long, just two years, closing at the end of August, 2013. But it was a warning to what was coming; Disney just wanted to be a landlord to others.
