A Daytime Night Club, Anyone?
Who knew that the day would come when clubs would open early in the day to accommodate our changing population? Clubs are popping up all over to adapt to the preferences of aging patrons as well as any one whose schedule allows them to have leisure time during the day.
Recently, I joined a large group of acquaintances who are retirees at the Pink Lion Jazz Club. It is located near Stonecrest Mall outside of Atlanta. Our function began at 11:30am. As I was approaching the club that is inside the New Black Wall Street Market, I could hear finger-snapping music, which lead me to hasten my steps.
As I walked into the cozy colored room, I was surprised to see so many people already on the dance floor so early in the day. They were moving to the music of a band playing all genres. The musicians were far younger than the members of our circle. Those who weren’t on the floor dancing were swaying to the music in their seats.
As I looked at the folks around me, I reimagined them as being young people who were out having a good time. In the lounge with beautiful dim lights, their ages were indistinguishable.
As the evening, I mean, afternoon came to a close, Darrell and I said to each other how much fun we had had. He commented that we needed to go dancing more. To that, I wholeheartedly agreed.
