PI Update: The Last Club Sign

As you know, Pleasure Island clubs closed in September, 2008. Following the final night, signs with club names were removed from their buildings or painted over. For the most part. A few signs remained. But management discovered over the coming years apparently that they couldn't lease-out any of the club spaces so in September, 2011, during an event we called the Pleasure Island Putsch, what few signs remained were finally removed and even the remains of 8TRAX, still in its groovy 70's paint scheme, was painted-over in favor of a drab color scheme. Curiously, while every sign was finally removed during the Putsch, the one pictured above remained. Yes, the Soundstage Club sign remained until June, 2015 when it came down along with the nightclub building itself.  Note: The contract with Black Entertainment Television had expired prior to PI closing so the BET logo in the upper left corner of the club logo had already been removed.
