Sneaker Villa 

Haven’t seen this posted anywhere, but it looks as if the nightclub/bar days of Mars/Second Street Saloon/Smalls/Mars has finally come to a quiet end.

Drove past the building yesterday and saw a sign proclaiming the arrival of a Sneaker Villa.

Another one bites the dust.

    I saw the signs, but I just assumed it was some kind of promotional tie in.

    Sneaker Villa is a retail store specializing in urban fashion.

    Reed always said that development along 2nd Street would lead to more retail.

    Surprised Mars failed? No.
    Surprised it’s a retail shop? Yes.

    Curious – why is there an application for alcoholic beverages posted on-site?

    I’m pretty sure they need to post that whenever there’s going to be a transfer -
