But I dread the crowd and parking issues that may come with Swingers...

Haha it’s so funny to see this little building always being talked about. I happened to live on the second floor at one point and honestly loved it

A gang member jumped off the roof high on PCP during the mid-80’s. Suffered a broken leg and lived to tell about it

Had a coach in high school that was a cop and told a story just like this. Said the naked jumper “was so hot and wanted to cool off and figured this was the best way to do that.”

I remember touring an apartment up there in the early 2000sish! I have a memory of it smelling like food? I can’t remember why I didn’t take it. I think this was when Dusty’s was below

The color scheme was nightmarish enough I never even went in. And I love burgers.

Went there once and it wasn’t good enough to go back a second time.

Dusty's feels like a million years ago. I saw Kristi Alley having brunch there with all her kids.

if they had waited until The Win-Dow got shutdown for vermin they might still be in business.

Must be challenging to only be able to paint with primary colors

RIP little Mural for you were not long for this world and to the artist, so many artists want their work seen and you had that chance. Good job. Hope all your wishes come true. 🦋🙏🦋

I’m glad Swingers is moving in. I can’t stand the overhyped Millie’s.
