"The Church nightclub was located in an actual deconsecrated church. The building is over 100 years old, and it's just an absolutely fantastic venue."
Our building was constructed in 1899 as a trolley car repair station. They try and say the pandemic killed it but actually, Uber promised Dallas they would set up their HQ in the area and The Lizard Lounge was the site. A lot of frantic attempts to save it were flat out ignored despite its historic value because Dallas really wanted the Uber HQ. The city of Dallas kept jacking up the property tax to get club closed and it worked. But Uber changed their mind. It was a unique club. The Church was "held" on Thursdays and Sundays - I joked when only the faithful would come. Monday, you could walk into an office and tell from the scent of spilled wine and cloves and patchouli who was in attendance the night before. The Church went so long that people met, married and eventually brought their children there when they were of age. I'm sure the building still stands but the club still can't afford the prices.
I, too, went to Church

It's almost magical to hear about another Church.
