PI Update: Mannequins Side View Then And Now

This is the side of Mannequins from back in the day. It wasn't necessarily a pretty site on this south elevation, what with it's fire escape stairs up to Mannequins offices, the big garage door and the southeast bathroom complex. In this 2011 view, the metal stairs that led up to the alternate entrance had already been removed. It was last used on the final Thursday night of Pleasure Island.

In this current view of Morimoto Asia, second floor industrial windows were flipped to become "portrait" view rather than "landscape" view. A balcony was added for dining but it's pretty rare to see it actually utilized. Of course the fire escape stairs were removed as was the big garage door. A quick serve walk-up window is located on the lower level. You won't find "techno" (as we used to call it) music playing in Morimoto although the food is really good.
