Monkey Joe's is the second monkey themed kids' vene to close in Lexington over the past few years.

Maybe monkeys aren't such a good idea. Pandas or Koalas would be my choice..

I've got a few bad pix of the place in operation that I'll dig up eventually, but these were taken a week after the place closed, but with all the accoutrements still inside.

Several people mentioned this closing both as upcoming and accomplished in the comments, but my sister gave me a heads up before any of that.

I believe the Monkey Joe's off Clemson Road is still open.

(Hat tip to my sister)

UPDATE 25 September 2016 -- Now Midlands Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery:

  2. Ted a couple of folks mentioned here that the Monkey Joe's at I-20 and Clemson Road closed prior to this one...

    There was a point when Monkey Joe's opened the Clemson Road location to supplement this one because periodic zip code monitoring yielded people coming from that section of town to this one.

    The Clemson Road location now houses a church of some sort...

  5. I searched Have Your Say and it noted that Miz Terry wondered back in February when Monkey Joe's closed and then badger noted that it closed in the summer of 2013...It just didn't feature here...

  6. According to the Monkey Joe's website, the North Charleston and Greenville locations are the only two left in South Carolina.

  8. There has been some working going on at this building this past week. Does anyone know what might be opening in this location?

  9. I drive by this place everyday and this morning I noticed a sign company on the property. They had a red and white sign with the word "Orthopedic" on it. It resembled the signs at Midlands Orthopedics, so I looked them up on internet and Midlands is indeed opening a location in this building in September 2016.
