Chateau Gentlemens Club<\/i> was the follow-on operation for the building which formerly housed Touch of India<\/a>, and you can still see the Indian motifs in the arches along the rooftop (though I suppose in this context you could see them as something else as well).<\/p>\n

Garner Lane is the I-20 frontage road which you can only reach by taking the I-20 Eastbound on-ramp at Broad River Road. It's a somewhat difficult place to get in and out of, and somewhat difficult to figure out how to do that as well. I don't know if that had anything to do with this club lasting for a rather short period: It's only listed in this year's phonebook (Feb 2011), so I'm guessing less than a year.<\/p>\n

It's listed in the phonebook as Chateau De Lamour<\/i>, a name I'm pretty sure was on the I-20 visible sign at one point as well. I'm guessing that was too ambiguous to draw traffic.<\/p>\n

The name of this little plaza has changed as well. Last year, it was Volaty Plaza<\/i>, now it is S&B Plaza<\/i>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 11 November 2011<\/b>: Located the two pictures I took while the club was in operation, and added them as the first two above.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 30 July 2012<\/b>: Commenter badger suggests this was Julie's<\/a> and then Chicago Smokehouse<\/i>. I think he's right so I'll add those to the post title. I ate at this Julie's<\/i> once long ago, but don't remember anything about it other than it did not give me food posioning like the one on Garner's Ferry<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
