summer love?

This week's column is about the end of summer, marked by the Back to Campus Bar Crawl held downtown this Saturday. One $8 cover gets you into nine bars.

The column also discusses some of local nightlife's biggest changes, most notably the fact that there is no more Savana's. RIP. Physically, the bar still exists, but it's under new ownership and has become Rumors. As of, like, this week. There's a pre-grand opening this weekend, and the official grand opening is Aug. 24. With a dance-off.

Something else very exciting -- somebody told me yesterday that there is a new bar downtown near Club 1244. Its name involves the word "hooka," allegedly. I'm going to drive down there soon and I'll report back ASAP.
