- 0:14Speaker 2: club closes down, But location wise physically, what is there now?
- 0:19Speaker 2: What is in the place of your watering hole? So
- 0:23Speaker 2: if you were, you know, a clever in the thirty
- 0:27Speaker 2: forty years ago around Alberton, there was a place that
- 0:30Speaker 2: you'll nicknamed grab a Granny. Hey, yeah, grab a Granny.
- 0:35Speaker 2: What was It was like the road lodge and it
- 0:38Speaker 2: was one big hole and then higher DJs.
- 0:41Speaker 3: And then people just go and have it all with
- 0:43Speaker 3: a grammy.
- 0:43Speaker 4: No.
- 0:44Speaker 3: I mean now we call it a cougar.
- 0:46Speaker 2: It's a cougar now, but back then it was grab
- 0:48Speaker 2: a Granny.
- 0:50Speaker 5: There's a few when I think back now. So the
- 0:52Speaker 5: first one, obviously we grew up. We partied in Pretoria
- 0:55Speaker 5: because we were at tux Yes Odds Odds, yeah, that bakery.
- 1:00Speaker 5: I think the whole of Hatfield Square is now student accommodation.
- 1:06Speaker 5: What yeah, that's where we hung out.
- 1:09Speaker 1: The big clubs were there.
- 1:10Speaker 2: There was a club on Keys Road here in Johannesburg
- 1:13Speaker 2: called the Bank, and we loved the Bank. It is
- 1:17Speaker 2: now the parking for Marble and the pantry and BGR
- 1:21Speaker 2: and all of those little restaurants. Is that's sad, but
- 1:24Speaker 2: I mean it's a good progression because now we are
- 1:26Speaker 2: hanging out at Marble and the pantry and the BGR. Right,
- 1:29Speaker 2: jimme Ellie's. There used to be a club there at
- 1:32Speaker 2: the bottom it was called Cuba, which was like a
- 1:34Speaker 2: restaurantation you'd have like drinks. And then at the top
- 1:37Speaker 2: it was a club called Central Pe.
- 1:39Speaker 3: I think it was called cent Pe.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Yeah. Now that's the center of Jammeli.
- 1:43Speaker 6: And in the same kind of area, Vicinity was inside Out,
- 1:46Speaker 6: which was this nightclub that actually I think Tory Blewett
- 1:50Speaker 6: opened with some friends and I don't know what.
- 1:52Speaker 3: It is now.
- 1:53Speaker 6: It's possibly like a car dealership, knowing that strip. But
- 1:56Speaker 6: also I remember in the early nineties a snuck into
- 1:59Speaker 6: a night club. So my friend at the time, Joanne's,
- 2:03Speaker 6: parents had gone away for the weekend. Probably shouldn't be
- 2:06Speaker 6: saying this other radio. If you're listening and you know
- 2:08Speaker 6: my children, don't tell them. And I told my mom, no,
- 2:11Speaker 6: were sleeping at your We're sleeping at your m My
- 2:12Speaker 6: mom didn't know.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Ja's parents went away and we all went to White Horse.
- 2:15Speaker 2: And where is white Horse? And what doesn't its place now?
- 2:19Speaker 6: The White Horse is Boss Creighton Side randburg Side, and
- 2:23Speaker 6: it's now a Crescent Clinic, which is like a I
- 2:25Speaker 6: think it's a Creston Clinic, which is like a psychiatric hospital.
- 2:29Speaker 3: One natural progression find those wolves could tell?
- 2:33Speaker 2: Do you guys remember Evert a nightclub.
- 2:36Speaker 7: We created over Start team nightclub based around the movie
- 2:41Speaker 7: ever Top. But now instead of doing it three D,
- 2:44Speaker 7: we created a virtual reality of effect.
- 2:47Speaker 1: We've got flamethrowers.
- 2:49Speaker 7: Every ten minutes we give you a flamethrow display.
- 2:51Speaker 8: We've got over eight laser lights where we can do
- 2:54Speaker 8: a laser light display show. We've got moving it lights,
- 2:58Speaker 8: led shows, gone the machines, load Foker machines to create
- 3:03Speaker 8: that whole Avatar field.
- 3:06Speaker 2: My wigs would hate the flamethrowers every ten minutes. By
- 3:09Speaker 2: the way, like every ten minutes I have to hit
- 3:11Speaker 2: the ground. Advertise now a health center if you want
- 3:14Speaker 2: a dietitian, a chiropractor, a dentist, a dermatologist, a guyana cologist, everything,
- 3:22Speaker 2: you'll find it now where Avatar used to be. By
- 3:24Speaker 2: the way, Avatar was the nightclub that they had the
- 3:25Speaker 2: escalator in the club. Do you know how much tun
- 3:29Speaker 2: that thing?
- 3:29Speaker 3: Same with what was it?
- 3:31Speaker 6: Bourbon Street also had a nightclub inside, I mean an
- 3:34Speaker 6: escalator inside the club to get it, and so you
- 3:36Speaker 6: pay downstairs and then you went up the escalator and
- 3:38Speaker 6: I think that's Randberg area. It's across from the licensing department.
- 3:42Speaker 6: So it was originally a cinema. Then they turned that
- 3:46Speaker 6: is basically and now I think it's like a little
- 3:48Speaker 6: shopping center.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Yea. Whatever happened to your nightclub right now? The place
- 3:53Speaker 2: used to go to every week for a jaw? What's
- 3:56Speaker 2: in its place at the moment?
- 3:58Speaker 1: I've got to say, just on this aver star.
- 4:00Speaker 5: Yeah right, that makes sense because your client tele have
- 4:02Speaker 5: different needs now, yes.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Right, dietitian, dermatologists, chiro press exactly, psychology exactly, therapist, all
- 4:13Speaker 2: of it.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Do you guys tell your kids when you go to
- 4:14Speaker 3: these places now that they're more dignified establishments, that you're
- 4:18Speaker 3: standing on holy ground kids?
- 4:19Speaker 2: As you do. I say that all the time when
