Default Memphis Institution Closed - Forever?

I'm a bit surprised that this subject hasn't been addressed yet, given the impression that I've had that it's so near and dear to the hearts of pilots forced to spend time in my beloved Memphis.

What are y'all doing for entertainment now?

What's the name of the "bar" just north of AOC off of Democrat? The Haz-Can.

Officials say "Platinum Plus" was packed with nearly 400 patrons, by the time everyone was checked out the law ended up hauling off more people than it had planned on.

The owner's of "Platinum Plus" in Southeast Memphis and "Tunica Caberet" in Southwest Memphis have had numerous run-in's with the law.

....

This recent raid the result of a 23-month investigation involving several agencies, from the Memphis police department to the FBI.

A comma splice, a misuse of an apostrophe ("run-in's") and a sentence fragment used in just four paragraphs. Her journalism professors must have been pretty tough....

Platinum Plus getting raided and shut down seems like an annual event yet somehow they always seem to reopen.

Its a sad sad day if the doors remain locked, I am a firm believer of supporting single moms the best I can

Funny you should mention that, as one of the local TV news pieces had an interview with a displaced employee complaining that she has three kids to feed, and this being the holiday season, she couldn't understand why they'd be puttin' her outta werk . . .

Default bummer :-(

I'm very disappointed ... I always wanted my daughter to grow up and get a good paying job at Platinum Plus. She's a real people person, I've always thought she would be good at public relations.

Regretfully,

Mark

Platinum Plus - every time I hear that name, I think of a really good Airbus friend of mine, chasing a hooker around the parking lot, in his shorts, after receiving an airstart in the back seat of his car. Seems she decided his wallet was really hers. Damn, I still laugh out loud over that one.
