Yes, I am fully aware I misspelled hippos. But I don't want to screw up the poll results so I'm not going to fix it.

@TechBean The whole Poe family was pretty hip tbh, not just ol’ Edgar Allen..

@TechBean Heck, his sister Lenore was so into the electronic music scene and ravin’ that the family had to step in sau “Nevermore” to her, and make it stick.

@Caution

I heard they opened an underground nightclub with a giant pendulum hanging above the dance floor.

@TechBean Oh yah, that was a huge financial misstep though.

The wine cellar is inaccessible, and there was some sort of fuck-up with the HVAC/filtering system, so their first big costume-themed event turned into a COVID super-spreader event. Lost a fortune.

Also, not to be a “I was there when it was still cool” or anything but tbh, the whole “underground goth bar” thing has been done to death.

Tl;dr : the place was a pit, and it should be avoided like the plague

The Place was a total pit.
