While checking the MySpace for downtown Columbus nightclub Rhino's today, I was surprised to see that the page now reads, "Rhino's Is Dead."
Ouch.
I immediately assumed the club had closed, but after a brisk walk downtown, I realized there's no reason to be alarmed. Unless you're a goth kid who likes bands like Debutante Massacre.
See, the hot spot isn't closed. It's simply changed ownership, and gone from goth indie bar to (apparently) hip-hop baller joint.
There are fliers outside the club that boast a Sexiest Lady Contest Saturday nights with Foxy 105 and DJ Chip (see a video of him here). The flier also states, "VIP Lounge is available for big ballers!!!"
Hmm. This should be interesting.
