Back in Business

When Bounce Nightclub closed after 13 years this past winter, Cleveland’s LGBT community (and those who loved partying with them) feared the worst while hoping for the best. Rumors were circulating that a new owner might swoop in to save the day (and the club). Apparently, that's precisely what happened. New owners Joe Jackson, Robert Jackson and Andrew Smith purchased the property, invested a couple hundred grand to spruce it up, and plan to have it open tonight for this year’s Pride weekend. Improvements include all new flooring throughout, an improved and expanded layout in the bar/restaurant, and cosmetic changes to the lounge and theater spaces. (Douglas Trattner)
