bus stop

Originally uploaded by joshc.

Word on the street has it that this weekend marks the opening of the much anticipated Bus Stop, which we seemed to hear about endlessly during the summer but fell under the radar this fall. The exterior adopts the split window red neon theme popularized by the neighboring Cha Cha Lounge, whether the cabaret themed addition to the Pike-Pine corridor will become more than hipster overflow remains to be seen. At the very least, we’re pleased to see the space once inhabited by used eighties clothing and later by graffiti taken over by another place to get a drink.

Stay tuned for updates as the story develops (and while we try to remember whether the theme cabaret or burlesque). Opening weekend stories in the comment section are much appreciated.
