PI Update: Remants Of Pleasure Island

You will no longer find any signs that say Pleasure Island. But ironically, you won't find any signs that say The Landing either. But if you look closely, you might spot some remnants of Pleasure Island. As you walk uphill along Hill Street, look high to your left and you will spot 8TRAX.
Morimoto Asia is a dead ringer for Mannequins. And if you go inside, you can't help but remember all the iron pillars, the location of the DJ booth and the location of the light wall. It's all there.

Around back on the Island's lower level, more 8TRAX. This was home to the circular staircase that went from the club's bottom level up to where the DJ booth was positioned. The circular staircase is no longer there, but it still is a stairwell for Morimoto kitchen employees.
 
Back on Hill Street, this was home to Mannequins smokers patio. The glass doors are gone but you can go straight into Mannequins or take the right door into 8TRAX. There's not much left of our beloved Pleasure Island but if you look hard enough, there's a few things.
