    I haven't truly gone to DTD since the clubs (well club to me) closed, I walked through PI once in Jan after picking up a shift at DTD and spent prob 5 min in Virgin checking out their "sale" about a week ago...

    I used to hit DTD atleast once usually twice a week...

    They are slowly converting it into a replica of the inside of the Wonders of Life pavilion.

    LOL!! So I guess that means they also knew I needed to save money so they closed it so I wouldn't have the temptation to spend it on Kungalooshs and not food...

    I will say that I'm not a big drinker at all (mainly cause of medical issues) but I did have a weakness for the Kungaloosh and I will not admit how many of the collectors cups I got the last few weeks (Lets just say I think my bar tab was just a tad less than my paycheck that week...)

So they do have something there, but the vast majority of it is a total ghosttown. It's actually kind of weird going through there, and you almost feel like you turned the wrong way, since there are so many closed off buildings.
