PI Update: Club Spotting!

                 Let's go up in this beautiful balloon to do some club spotting!

Near the lower right corner, Adventurers Club lives on in the form of The Edison. It was heavily renovated but when you're in there, there are numerous places where you can see Adventurers Club.

That silver metal building of course was 8TRAX. The front of the old club was sawed-off and replaced by the new construction Sanuk flip-flop store you see there. Today most of the building serves as part of the kitchen for the adjoining Morimoto Asia restaurant and you can see where the two buildings connect. Reliable sources tell us that behind Sanuk and before the Morimoto connection is a small area where the old 8TRAX still exists!

Of course Morimoto Asia itself is our former Mannequins Dance Palace and we suspect the old revolving dance floor is still under a faux-floor installed during restaurant construction. Don't think we'll ever know for sure. If you've never eaten at Morimoto, we can tell you the food is really good! And we can also tell you that when you're inside this cavernous venue, you can see many things that scream-out Mannequins!

Beautiful Pleasure Island. That's the extent of our former clubs. Comedy Warehouse, BET Soundstage and Motion all met the wrecking ball so no remnants remain. Kungaloosh!
