help me find the Circle Electric?

apparently there used to be a club called the Circle Electric in Auburn that was popular in the 80s, it burned down but where did it used to be? I can barely find any information at all about the club, I hope this isn’t too far fetched

do you know why it burned down if it had been closed for years? i can’t help but be a little suspicious considering the context of where i found it to be mentioned. i’ve been doing a little online investigating, what kind of sketchy things can you remember?

I definitely remember that there was suspicion about the fire. There may have even been evidence to suggest that the fire was intentional. But, again, foggy memories.

In regard to sketchiness - I don’t remember anything specific other than people talking about it in a less than respectable light. It had a reputation, as far as my young mind could interpret.

Try fb Lewiston uncensored, maybe Lewiston rocks. Someone there may even have pics, newspaper articles...
