Saturation »

So Wanda’s er, Club One er, Legend’s er, Hardware Bar opened on the West Shore today (right?). If you recall, about three months ago I predicted that we’d see a move to less developed areas — namely, the West Shore. The Coliseum is on track to open along St. John’s Church Road, and [...]

Rock Comes Down (town) »

Thanks to forums member Cashmere for the tip - Smalls is opening this Saturday (9/14) with Pariah Lout and The Lookies.

Furthermore, the average nightclub — not counting superclubs and major market venues — has three owners in its lifetime. Having opened in [...]

Second Street Restart »
