Limelight
*** Skip to Your Comments on Limelight ***
I may be wrong on the closing date, but Limelight was BUMPIN' for years. As Atlanta started to shed it's backwater image-this club led the way. It was located in a strip shopping mall and everything else in that mall became identified with the "DISCO" prefix. As in :"DISCO KROGER"..."DISCO DELI"..."DISCO DRY CLEANERS". Huge parking lot.
An overwhelmingly straight and White crowd. If you were Black and un-intimidated... LIKE ME... you could end up going home with a hot little White chik or two. This not only annoyed the White guys in the club... it was'nt playing too well amongst the Sista's on my side of town either. Beez like 'dat sometime. ;^D .Limelight was the place where celebrities and visiting ballplayers would come to get there Studio 54 fix and coupla' lines of the powdered stuff. Haven't seen Atlanta in years. Wonder whats on that spot now?

This is awsome!!! I have been searching for anything on the "LIMELIGHT" for sooooo long. Of course I'm alot older now but I often wonder about the crowd there. I was from Warner Robins Ga. and/or close by but I would go to Atlanta sometimes for a week at the time. Oh man I remember the inside of that place very well, actually I purchased the last light blue "Limelight" jacket they had. That was about a month befor the "Limelight" closed. I still have that jacket. I would love to have someone, anyone to contact me Those were the best times...
I worked as a live mannequin. I stood on the ledge on the side of the stairway which led down to the dance floor. I got to do my cool "robot" moves. Saw everyone coming and going People actually thought we weren't real. We had the coolest costumes and make up. Once I got to go inside the cage and come down from the ceiling into the dance crowd. I was back stage and walked right past Grace Jones. She had quite a "vibe" about her It was a great experience working there!
