PI Update: Those Sad Days After The Closure

The 14th anniversary of Pleasure Island's closing took place last week and these are some pics we took in October, 14 years ago! Although the clubs had closed, people still gathered at the Island's map near Mannequins to see what's what. Most people didn't even know the clubs had closed.

No actual changes at Mannequins post-closure. Of course we knew it would eventually reopen.

The Motion sign had been removed. To keep people from wandering back beside and behind the former club, a fence had been installed in front of the building. We don't know why some club signs had been removed and why they kept others.

8TRAX remained in it's groovy 70's paint scheme but with the 8TRAX signage removed. Mannequins, Adventurers Club and BET Soundstage would keep their signs for a couple more years while the others lost them within days immediately following the closure.
