Holy F*CK - The Marine Club is KAPUT!
This place was one of the coolest places in the country, let alone Vancouver. Nothing is sacred. I wasn't a regular, but I loved that place. Sad, It's not just another live venue lost, it's possibly the last cool venue that supported bands & a community that have little or no place to go now. Crappy.
The Marine Club was bolted shut and declared SOLD without a fucking word to the staff; promoters and/or patrons.
Another fine venue and fun hangout closed.
I thought Vancouver was working on putting the fun back into the city...not taking more of it way. Just confirms for me more and more that Vancouver really does live up to its title "No fun city."

I remember walking down homer street to see yet another one of my vancouver memories gone and boarded up. The Marine club. I remember only a few of us (back in the 80's) young people entering the Marine Club to get away from the high priced, crowded pubs of posers back then to sit with the old retired sailors and have a cheap pint. On the walls were pictures and memrobillia from my dad's navy vessel the Prince Robert. And of course old Frank playing the theme song from the Jeffersons on his keyboard. Of course it wasn't long before word got out and the crowds came.
Yep, I could write one these fancy blog things about my youth in Vancouver. Or even tell how my family built this town from the beginning
