"{Don't be sad for us...It's been a great ride}

So, By now, Some of you have heard. We "The Spotlight" Will be calling our last

call on Monday September 5th at 2am. We would like to thank all our friends

and patrons who have become family to us over our 48 years in business. From

the bottom of our hearts...We love you all dearly. Again, Don't be sad for us, It's

been a wild and crazy ride and we loved every minute of it. Come down and

raise your glass and toast to one of the longest running gay bar's in Tinsel

Town/Los Angeles California...THE SPOTLIGHT!

Stop by and say thanks for the memories to...

Owner-Don Samuels,

Manager-Forrest Miller,

or send in and share your stories on our Facebook wall.

"You never know what the future will bring. We might pop up somewhere"

Here's to The Spotlight...CHEERS!!!

Townsend, I can tell that you are up on all of the happenings in LA. For you to stop posting these bombshells would bring the place to a halt and we can't have that. So, please continue to do your research and drop these items on us so we all can take note of them.

Here's another thread of your that is just waiting for the right moment until people catch on:

Thanks Lucky=I actually already posted in another IBB about this-an IBB that is focused on general news and world events.Since this is a IBB about male escort and hustlers and other fun stuff I find my post to be relevent to this IBB. And yes- I will continue to post ("drop") this sort of news item here.I thank you for your encouragement.

Speaking of encouragement,,,, I believe the Politics forum here could use some fresh posts as many are being misposted in the Hooboy Pub-which is not the correct forum. I urge posters and moderators to both post in the correct forums and to move incorrectly posted items to the appropriate forums-It might help new members coming to an IBB called MaleEscortReview.com understand what this place is about.

Thanks again

and here is a GREAT blogpost about The Lovely Spotlight including photos and history. http://antebellumgallery.blogspot.com/2010/11/spotlight-is-closing.html?zx=762d8253978276fc
