I thought the building had been rehabbed already into office and gallery space.

Second floor is a salon: The First Ward.

Also love some of the quotes from former judges in this one:

So what you are saying is that some of the young professionals back in the day used to rub in the right way?

I worked in a business downtown where there was occasional contact with some of the ladies - all extremely NON physical.   Some were nice girls, they just had a different career path than would be considered mainstream. 


Very close - like next door - was Logan's Concessions where you could get really good theater popcorn and fountain drinks - best mix in town, then or now or any time in between!!

I'd always heard that was connected to the old Avalon Steak House somehow.

The building is gone - it is a parking lot now.  That one little building at east of parking used to be part of it IIRC.
