the city closed down exit and factory to milk fine money out of the owners??? Aside from all the other reasons.. i mean it has been no secret what goes on in these clubs ever since they were open. Why close them now? especially when the city is like bankrupt.. i dont know.. i mean despite what some of you say those two places are what puts nyc nightlife on the map and what makes it stick out from the others.. now, as far as big clubs go in the city, you got vinyl, webster, centro, and estate/limelight, roxy, what else is there? we need exit/factory to give people more choices in the city and to keep nyc nightlife alive.
