They're back!

maggie's closed?! i should keep up to date with your blog!
a colleague of mine loved that place (and probably still does) !
Yes, it was shut down for 7 or 8 months - the most notorious example of the Olympic sanitization of the city.
There were all kinds of rumours of the owners being in terminal trouble with the cops (mixed up in drug dealing, one of the girls murdered on site, all kinds of stuff like that), but it all seems to have been idle talk. It looks as though they've just been indulging in a very extensive refurbishment.
I really don't know why the hotdog stand outside had to close down, though. That was, to all intents and purposes, a separate if collateral business. I've seen many people get cabs to the south gate of Ritan Park just to pick up one of those 'dogs, and - like me - never dream of going inside that den of vice.
