PI Update: The Island 10 Years Ago This Month

Ten years ago this month we crossed this bridge one more time to beautiful Pleasure Island to check out the clubs.

Mannequins stood ready for business. We predicted at the time that the place was too massive to find another use besides as a night club.

The bold colors of 8TRAX had been pained over in Disney's attempt to rent the space out to someone else but there apparently were no takers.

Adventurers Club was hidden behind bamboo planters. If a group congregated too long showing interest in what was back there, security moved them along.

Ditto for BET Soundstage. "Move along now, there's nothing to see here."

Nighttime entertainment had been brought back to PI here at West End Plaza to liven-up the place with a stage placed outside the Comedy Warehouse building. Some of the musical acts that played there in 2012 still play on the Island to this day!

We can't show you pictures of Rock'N'Roll Beach Club or Motion in April, 2012 because they had already been demolished!
