Manray as it was can not exist in this current climate of social media. You just can't run a business where you treat your patrons badly. We put up with it back in the day because it was the only game in town outside of Ceremony and it was part of our culture somewhat. But now? Bouncers turning away people at the door because they are wearing brown shoes with a black outfit? Or a white stripe around the bottom of their platform boots? Or Voltaire with his graver pants? Not only will those kids not come back, but the bad press on FaceBook, Twitter, Yelp reviews, FourSquare reviews, Google+, individual blogs, well, you get the point.

There isn't a twenty something generation of Goths in the city. It's burners, bellydancers, circus performers, fire spinners. And that's fine, but they don't need Manray. And Manray class of '99 has moved on with their lives.

Something else to ponder, T.T.'s isn't going to let Chris Ewen and Terri go without a fight. Heroes saved that club from closing and allowed them to remodel. It's not perfect, but I'm sure they aren't anxious to lose their cash cow.
