Port O' Call: Out by March 15

[Dead Space] Soon to join the SugarHole and the Dead Zephyr in limbo is downtown nightclub Port O' Call, which was ordered by a judge Monday to close by March 15--adding insult to Port's 90 employees, right before St. Patrick's Day, one of the busiest nights of the year.

Port O' Call will be torn down to make way for the federal courthouse expansion. Assuming workers won't have their hands full cleaning up the remains of Oddfellows Hall to the north, which may or may not fall apart before it's moved across Market Street, the courthouse will be completed before Sen. Orrin Hatch begins his 78th term in office. (Bill Frost)
