The End Of An Era?

Proving that nothing is sacred (or recession-proof), it seems our beloved Transit has closed. We have crushed on our favorite Spring Garden haunt time and again, and never did we think this could happen. We were a little suspicious when Milkman was moved from Transit to Palmer Social Club (its ugly stepsister across the street), but our biggest fear was confirmed this week. According to Citypaper:

Looks like Transit, the Sixth and Spring Garden dance hall owned by the Weiss Bros (Pure, Woody’s, Bump) is no more. Yet, their neighboring Palmer Social Club flourishes. Go figure. I hear that a Weiss management team took out all equipment from the towering venue once known as The Bank (under Stephen Starr’s reign). Though the venue hasn’t operated as a regular-hours club, it has opened its doors to Making Time and Paperstreet events. Not enough ducats for the brothers Weiss, apparently, as rumor has ’em not renewing their lease.
