Southdowns closing?? Where will all the old skanky women go now? Cadillac is too full for them to go there. What happens to the stripper pole in the middle of the dance floor? And what about the old phogie that takes the lame pics for the slide show that continuously runs? And what becomes of the bouncers that kicked my friends arse for no reason several years ago, yet got off scott free?
No offense to those who own/love the place, but I won't miss it.

I've never been in there, but that place definitely has a cult following.

From your vivid description of it, it sounds like you have spent a fair amount of time in there.

Honestly, not much. Just enough to form an opinion. Used to go "because thats where the group wanted to go", but got out of that habit quickly.

Can we get some on to post the Southdown pics again.
Those threads are what got me looking at TD. Just for old times sake.

I'm sure one of the bars in that area will pick it up....Southdowns would make their whole year that one night.

Yes, they do this ALL the time......I'm sure your friend did absolutely nothing to warrant this said arse kicking.

It was an email...you know kind of personal...not an announcement...just thought I would share...sorry you wasted your time reading.

Well, I'm not a big patron over there, but I also didn't mind the place either.
I've got several friends who virtually live over there though, so I'm sorta bummed for them.
