Glenn's and Nitelife faced Corporate.. The entrance to the one I'm thinking of, faced College.

Yes.. I think that's it.. Had a dark green and brass interior with a big semi circular bar, right when you walked in, with banquettes around the perimeter. It was where Hooters is now, and the karaoke bar was right next door to the North.

Only 19 years? I ate there several times in college (97-2000). Must have been brand new.
