Shadow nightclub in trouble

[silverbull]

I know its been around a long time, ive only been one time (danny krivit) not for the normal parties, seems like because of its longevity it hasnt been such a big deal but looks like neighbors want it shut down.

surprised with the clientele they cater to (impression I get from where they advertise) it hasn't happened sooner

Adult R&B always seems to do well and they drink. Problem is yesterday's thugs are today's adults and they brought their ghetto ways along with them

He may have Mike I was so busy working (everywhere but there lol) that I wasn't able to keep up. I just recently got reconnected with him on fb.

[RAS]

Mike, unfortunately that was probably about a year or two before I started clubbing. In fact, around 1985 is when I started going to those bangin' FIT parties. As always, thanks for the info.

You may be talking about that same club that was renamed octagon in the early to mid nineties. Had many nights falling out of that club.

Mike

I went to Lovelite quite a few times. It was a nice spot. Would stop on my way in and check hookers waxing love muscles in hoopties. Thats the first spot that I saw Ten City perform at. Addtionally, Nick Jones, who is one of this areas best djs spun there.

I used to love the Octagon back in those days! I loved the way the shape of the place added even more flava to everything.

Remember hearing Rise up by chance there for the first time. I think fred pierce was there on friday nights. Has to be the same place Mike Barnes is speaking of.

[DJ Timmy Richardson]

Love lite was down the block from Octagon. I remember spinning one night and seeing Buddy come in with a trench coat and speedos. We didn't know each other then but soon would through LB Bad. They had Thorens in there. Very nice
spot with a nice system, but Leroy didn't really keep up with things clubs need done. Like fixing woofer cones.

Side note:
It was fun watching the hookers and johns on that block.

MarkB, Good lookin in regards to the information on your man Nick Jones(Who i've never heard mix before, Though, I have heard very good things about you're man's ability to rock a spot all-night to the morning lite, My man), MarkB, You could have went to another in-famous spot around by the LoveLite, In regards to you sportin a trench coat with speedos at the LoveLite, My man/LOL, MarkB, You should have went to Plato's Retreat(Which was located on 34thst between 10

thave and 11thave in Manhattan, During the early to late 80's or at least that's what i heard, My man/LOL), MarkB, Timmy Richardson, I knew a cat from around the way(Southside/Jamaica,Queens), Who had a few young ladies on the stroll around the 30thst-42ndst and 10thave and 11thave area in Manhattan during the late 70's to mid 80's(The cat in question shall remain nameless, My man/LOL), MarkB, My man(The cat in question, Not one of my boys, My man/LOL), Had young ladies on the stroll at the Bristol Hotel(162ndst by the YMCA on Parsons Blvd in Jamaica,Queens), During the early to mid 80's too, My man/LOL.

Plato's Retreat was a swingers club that got shut down during the AIDS explosion. Wow Mike. Hard to believe you never heard Nick. He is one of the best to ever grace the decks. You never frequented the Wild Pitch parties?

[Mike Barnes]

Timmy, No, I've never been to the Wild Pitch throwdowns in New York City during the 80's and 90's, Because i was hanging at spots in New Jersey(Zanzibar, Club 88, Bogies, Club America, Cosmos, Etc), So, I never had the opportunity to hang at those wild pitch throdowns during the 80's and 90's, My man, Timmy, I've never heard Camacho mix in a spot either, My man(Though, I remember cats giving Camacho the utmost of respect for rockin a spot during the 80's and 90's), My man.

Mike, Platos retreat was too rich for my blood. I was still in HS rocking the C1 bus pass. Fortunately, I had a lil part time job so I ended up at The Zoo in Times Square. The line was "Do you want to swing?". The women were swamprats but at that age I didn't care
