i'm so sad..i'd never been to the vibe lounge but remembered when that space was bella's back in the day...i was so glad to hear that it had morphed into a new Black queer space for the next generation. reminds me of the article in the express a few weeks ago about how the recession is hitting Black-owned restaurants particularly hard.
