I loved the drag shows and unisex bathrooms. Everyone was welcomed even girls like me, straight with love for the LGBT community. This place will be missed.

It was one of New York's longest-running and most distinctive gay/queer clubs. But it also it also underscores the ongoing destructive path that New York's hyper-gentrification is clearing through the city's cultural distinctiveness, especially Manhattan's.<br /><br />Maybe it will move to Jackson Heights, or somewhere in the Bronx. (I can remember hanging out at the Warehouse up there.) Didn't the Palladium originally move up to Westchester? <br /><br />Wherever it moves, it won't be the same, and Manhattan for sure will have lost yet another important cultural site, probably in favor of yet another soulless glass and steel spire, and the people who can afford to buy condos or pay through the nose for apartments or hotel rooms in it.John Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073378940347627766noreply@blogger.com
