History & local legend

The former Spotlight Lounge on Washington Boulevard in Port Vue had stories of patrons continuing their evening after the room had emptied. People at the bar reportedly saw dancers reflected in the mirrors or appearing on the stage when nobody was dancing in front of them.

Other accounts described footsteps descending the stairs, a door opening and someone apparently heading toward the restrooms. Looking toward the sound revealed no customer. Local tellers explained the activity as members of the old crowd returning to a familiar gathering place.
