baton rouge getting a new nightclub downtown? probably to open in 2012, just as i roll on buddy … fingers crossed these renovations move at a slightly faster glacial pace than everything else around here moves.

Adding to the nightlife: Renovations should start in the next few weeks on a 1,500-seat live music club at the intersection of Florida and Third streets. Plans are to open a House of Blues-type club that would bring in national and local performers, says developer Todd Chambers. The club doesn’t have a name yet, but it will feature two stages and a rooftop deck wrapping around the Coca-Cola sign. The downtown building has been the home of several clubs, including The Shelter, Richoux’s, Parrot Beach and Dante’s. Scott Ritter, the architect designing the bar, says the plan is to make big changes to break with the past. “This will be more intimate, more VIP,” he says.

    mel, you’re right. the times square in dixon, illinois does bear a striking resemblance to third and florida. white, don’t you have a fuck tent to build? have you done a dry run yet? you don’t want to go into the wet run without doing a dry run. don’t fuck this up, white!

    i was thinking about doing a dry run, but the tent is bigger than my front yard. i did an inventory count of all the requisite parts. everything checks out, white.
