Someone needs to bring that place back. Same name for the memories. There just might be a fortune to be made with that idea now.

the club was doing bad in 1995 and the owner hired someone to torch the place so he could collect the insurance. The club was burned down to the crowd and the owner was arrested for insurance fraud.
