never been~~~~~

oh i got memories of that place - BJs in the bathroom from drunk hot chicks, to screwing in the parking lot...thanks Janice, Phyllis, Denise, Aimee, and all the other fine women whose names I can't remember. It was always funny to see how many cars were in the parking lot on a Sunday morning - a lot of folks got lucky on Saturday night!

Used to work for Mr. Wilburn, the owner back in the late 70s, early 80s as security (OK a bouncer). Spent all my time there. Drove a Corvette and never went home alone (I was a dog). Mr. Wilburn was also the promoter of Pro Wrestling at Dorton Arena.

I read this story in the N&O and it said that the club was greatly dependent on customers from other counties and with the cost of gas now, they just weren't coming.

I remember, as will some other the other old pharts here, when the club was "The Embers Club". That was a nice, classy place.

I haven't been to the LB for at least a decade, but it's still a shame to see it go. Thanks OPEC!

saw travis tritt there before he became famous...got a few other memories from 1990 & 1991 ;-)

I saw the Barenaked Ladies there. Great place. got puked on that night by a drunk party girl but it was a great show none the less. Not really in a good location (out of the way).

good riddance

well i just read the blog link that uncbabie provided-if they were not willing to "get with the times" by accepting any kind of debit or credit card-then that is one reason they are goin down the tubes............hate to see them close even though i don't bar-hop any more!

It was an issue of mismanagement

What's Miss Kitty gonna do now?

it was rumored at one time that they were dealing drugs. nut in my opinion i think that hip-hop and pop music is taking over now.
