The campaign was spirited, the campaign was lively, the campaign was pure -- but we are saddened to report that PARLOUR BELLS will not be performing at tomorrow's Faces nightclub demolition party. According to the Boston Globe, the proud-but-weathered Faces sign, long a Route 2 symbol of the glory days of disco past, will come down tomorrow in an invite-only ceremony.
Yesterday, the Boston Globe ran a story about how legendary Route 2 nightclub Faces will host one "last hurrah" before facing the wrecking ball in a few weeks, a demolition that arrives many long overdue years after the Cambridge eyesore has become a sort-of dilapidated landmark and source of nightlife intrigue for those under 35 who long for the lost glory days of disco.
