"In the early 90s, I went to an outlaw "tea dance" in that parking lot. Hundreds of people showed up. Someone was selling bottled drinks out of a shopping cart. A DJ and drag queens performing Proud Mary on the abandoned Art Deco building to the north, shimmy dresses and all! Police showed up and just stood there staring in amazement. It's something I'll never forget."—Anthony [Old Senator Hotel Site Finally Alive With New Construction]
