Some things to note about the Alibi - the owner has assured me that they will be sprucing up the exterior as soon as the light rail construction out front is finished. He says he's sticking with all the original design elements of the sign and building and will only be cleaning it up and not "updating" it. The neon torches on top of the sign used to be real gas flames! I've been bugging Larry to make that happen again, but he says the insurance and codes won't allow it. I don't get the feeling he's looked into it that deeply though, as there are other clubs in town that have live flames outside... You HAVE to see that sign at night to really appreciate it! When locals give directions to the Alibi they always say, "You can't miss it", and in this case that's actually true.
