PI Update: Remembering The Lombard Promendade

The so-called Lombard Promenade was a gift from Meriweather Adam Pleasure to his wife Isabella following a visit to San Francisco where they discovered the equally-curvy Lombard Street. So he replicated it on Pleasure Island.

 

This was the Lombard Promenade. Even after the clubs closed, this feature allowed pedestrians to travel from the Island's lower level to the upper level.

The height difference between the lower and upper levels of Pleasure Island are still there today, of course. It's just blocked now by the WC building beside STK Steakhouse (upper level) and a different WC building next to 8TRAX (lower level). A service court exists behind the wood doors. But no promenade. Poor Isabella.
