Could the Roxy rise from the ashes of a troubled night club scene? Last year the famed club shut down to the disappointment of many, all echoing the "end of an era" sentiment. They originally opened as a roller skating rink and roller disco in the 70s, later transforming into a popular gay dance club. To make matters worse, the word on the street was that a developer would be turning the space, at 515 West 18th Street, into dreaded condos. Now amNewYork has gotten word that rumors of Roxy's untimely end were exaggerated, and "the owners will be appearing before the business license and permits committee of CB4" in an effort to re-open.

YAY!
God, no. I thought it was finally over!
Heheheheh.
Does this mean the real estate bubble has finally burst? Hooray!
it's not coming back according to an email i read:
"It seems a letter was written to a newspaper & gained some attention, calling for landmark status for the Roxy - the owner was furious & he & his laywers freaked out, because if the building ever got landmarked he would not be able to sell it for the multi-million bucks which he hopes eventually to be able to do. So he withdrew the offer of a lease & the deal is off - at least for the present."
i hate when people want to landmark everything.
