it would be nice if they could still have a small drug supermarket there - maybe just a drug deli or something.

i love those chinese mini-malls under the manhattan bridge - the dim sum place upstairs in the older one is good.

the mini mall will be haunted by the ghosts of dead ravers

rhythmic whistling and the spooky sucking of pacifiers heard by late nite passers-by.

H&M will discover platforms attached to their shoes and bellbottoms sewn into jeans overnight

It was wall to wall goffs in my day. You could tell who used good white face powder and who used talcum powder by whether they glowed blue under the blacklights.

Oh, underage drug experiences... I almost feel nostalgic. I still have, somewhere, a *members* card. How hilarious is that? Fake ID and a members card, ah, put off or put on youth hurts and then it's gone.

Only time I was ever in the joint was to see Shonen Knife. (just like I would go to Danceteria ... to see Violent Femmes.)

The place with the Killer Club Kidz was The Tunnel. I never went there. I was scared of it.

Ha ha, I saw Primal Scream (I think on the Screamadelica tour) at Limelight. I met a future bandmate at that gig - I was tripping my face off, and she had glitter on her face and I kept talking to her because her face was doing the most amazing things.

the long-running goth/industrial/rave night was greatness itself, and the fact that they let in under-21s created a cheerful, energetic vibe unmatched in any of the adult clubs.

i saw jeff mills play there on my birthday.

^^had no idea abt this^^

my unfavorable memories are from the earlier 80s. went there once for a village voice xmas party after it opened, and ligged open bar at a couple subsequent promo-party type events. kinda gross. there was always a louche wannabe rockstar vibe there, not my scene.

This city is not decadent enough if we can't find one billionaire who wants to live in a deconsecrated church.

Laibach live at the Limelight was amazing.
