Tim, that one, of all the great examples of urban archeology on this board, is an odd one to favor, because it aimed at a site that was merely a recreation of an original place, and that was closed just 6 years or so ago.

It was the idea of them going into the place like they did. I was joking about them being arrested at least I hope I was.
Most people wouldn't dare do what they both did that day. Who knows what is there now? Thanks to them there is a photograpic record of that day.
And I am sorry, but I am not so sure about that Bamboo Room, looks kinda newly renovated to me. For one thing, if it was originally called the Bamboo Room, where's the bamboo? :) You mean they tore out all the bamboo to make it look like a 30s speakeasy again?

What little I know of the Bamboo Room is from Humuhumu. She wrote on Critiki that the Bamboo Room was in the Lady Windmere. This was the name of the hotel until 1934 when it became the Georgian. The Speak Easy was probably remodeled after prohibition to the Bamboo Room and has since been remodeled back to the prohibition look. Maybe Humuhumu can chime in and add something?
