Three-1-Three rises from the dead

It looks like Three-1-Three's demise that I wrote about last week will be short-lived! Don Bailey, the club's owner, says he plans to reopen the bar in a new downtown Belleville location as soon as next week. You can read about it at the Belleville News-Democrat.

While many of the regulars weren't happy about the move, I think it may be a blessing in disguise. With Big Daddy's "disco diner" getting ready to move into Three-1-Three's old home at 313 E. Main St., there will be more options for people wanting a night on the town in the Belleville. While some of the regulars most likely will boycott Big Daddy's, the average bargoer may be apt to hop from place to place. There's a reason why restaurant chains put their outlets close to a competitor's outlet: They really do feed off each other. The same principle applies to the club scene.

The more the merrier!
