What is happening with this building/vicinity?
There was always so much going on here. It was always busy!
It's been closed for some time now. Anybody know what happen? Is the municipality doing something with it?

I was going to make this post myself today after seeing the place yesterday for the first time in a few years. Kind of shocking seeing what it is now

It's sad. This vicinity was visited by many. Not having any businesses in that section is just silly.

Great memories there. During the 90s and early 2000s it was a place where friends hung out. Cool rides, music and great food. There meet up spot before and after the club on a Saturday night.
In the later years people started disrepecting the place and lack of maintenance, it lost its patronage.

Hi! So I work for the company that took that families photos at that place. They told us that the government basically bought the ground and wanted to build some type of thing on there. Basically forced them out. The place was founded by the grandfather and been in the family for quite some time. All the staff was very obviously close knit and more of a family type than anything else.
