Farewell, Nutbush!!
It is truly the end of an era. Nutbush City Limits is closing. Some of us remember it as Adron’s, and most of us have one story or another to tell.
So, join OPALGA for a going-away party at the Nutbush on Sunday, February 25, at 4:00 p.m. Grab some friends, and let’s reminisce over the discounted cocktails.
Maybe the Nutbush was the first gay bar you ever went to, or maybe it was your regular hangout, but I’m sure that we all have some memories to share—"Lock In” on New Year’s Eve, OPALGA’s first Drag Show, or your first crush, trick, or breakup. My first memory comes from my childhood, when my father used to tell us about “that faggot bar over on Harlem.” I found out later (once I came out) that he and his friend actually used to hang out there because they knew how to work an angle, flirt, and get free drinks. Like my father, I’ve always had a good time at the Nutbush, whether it be a Sunday afternoon martini party or dancing late into the night after a drag show. It truly is the end of an era. So, bring your tears, laughter, and memories, and help us say goodbye to an old friend.
