Strip Club / Flight Line / Uncle Doctors, 1734 Mobile Avenue: 2005 3 comments
I have noticed this building on Mobile Avenue (off of Airport Boulevard fairly near the airport) a number of times over the years, though I don't believe it has always had the castle-like facade.
I used to fly out of the airport fairly often (though luckily I haven't had to fly for a few years now), and it seemed to me that for a while it was something different every time I drove past. I think in the 90s it was a strip club that morphed into a night club or vice versa, and a few more things before it became The Flight Line and then Uncle Doctors.
Google gave me a pointer to the old Uncle Doctors web site, and I was able to find some zombie versions in www.archive.org from whence the logos. Apparently Uncle Doctors was a sister club to Ground Zero in Spartanburg as they shared a site. The current occupant in the building apparently does wedding receptions and catering.

I actually had my senior semi/winter formal there...It seemed really nice now. but knowing that it used to be the "sister club" to ground zero...there must have been A LOT of cleaning and remodeling to do, if it was is any kind of the same shape as GZ.

it was actually grittier than ground zero. the scene was pretty mixed and there were lots of fights. people constantly being kicked out then mulling around outside looking for trouble.
straight edge and hardcore kids looking to hurt people too. Columbia was just more of a shithole than Spartanburg which is saying a lot.

Was this where the Opening Break was? I think it was in that same general area. For a while, there were a few around town in the late 80s. The club in the late 90s might have been "Shangri-La," but I'm not sure of that. I know there was one off St. Andrews Rd (which had probably closed by the time this one was operating), but I keep thinking that this might have been the name here, too.
