The Rome Club was a gay disco and then changed owners who put up a sign, no gays allowed, back in the mid 90's. The club then failed and every other venue that has tried to do business there has failed. Some say it's the work of a gay phee (ghost) Now this.
From the Balcony:
"Dear Balcony Member,
Some of you may have heard that the front of the building next door to us that used to be Roxy (and before that Icon and before that Rome Club) collapsed yesterday, 30 September.
The building was being worked on by construction workers employed by the new owners and at about 4.15pm the facade of the ground, first and second floors gave way and collapsed into the Soi. Fortunately nobody was injured but the electricity lines were cut and there was some minor damage to the end of The BalconyтАЩs terrace. This caused us to close last night.
The electricity supply has now been restored and the damage inspected by the local authorities. Since there was no structural damage to The Balcony we have now made temporary repairs and are open again as usual. Full repairs will take a little longer but plans are in hand to have this work completed as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing you again at The Balcony very soon.
Since we have been preoccupied today with getting ourselves ready for opening our usual monthly newsletter will be slightly delayed but should be with you soon.
Best Regards
From the Management & Staff "
I'll stop by this evening and take a look. Anyone know what was going in there?
