PI Update: Remembering PI Live

In November, 2011, barely a year after Pleasure Island closed, the PI Live DJ booth demolition began. At this juncture they had no clue what they planned to do with the Island but for some reason this booth had to come down.

You'll recall that the PI Live booth was home to DJ's playing music to passersby throughout the day and evening. At night, if you weren't inside a club and were instead hanging around outside, the music you heard came from up here. When the PI clubs were closed in September, 2008, music ceased from up here too. Months later the booth would reopen because customers complained the Island seemed so dead and eerie at night. You'll recall it was necessary to traverse the Island during those years when passing between Downtown Disney Marketplace and Downtown Disney West Side.
