What WAS Church Street Station like in its' heyday?

[anotherboardnposter]

I've heard about Church Street Station many times throughout my almost 21 years, but I've never visited it.

What was it like back in the old days? Was it as joint-jumping as Pleasure Island and CityWalk are in the modern day, or was it more sedate?

Sincerely,

i went with my best friend 2 years ago, and we had sooooo much fun!! we decided to try it after spending 2 nts at universal citywalk) ) then pleasure island( ) for 2 nts as well. we wanted something different-it was ,in a good way! we went to a saloon-type place called rosie o'grady. it was fun! we went to a danceclub (i cant think of the name to save my life) which was a lot of fun-good drink specials and a lot of locals. compared to the other entertainment complexes- it was a very nice area,a few restraunts and shops, but it really doesnt hold a candle to the other ones. dont get me wrong, we loved it and had a blast, but not as crazy or glitzy as we look for. more laid back. that was exactly what we were looking for after those 4 other nights of clubbing in the mega-complexes. its worth the visit, even early for dinner on the same night before hitting citiwalk or p.island.

You know, on weekends, the clubs at Wall Street Plaza (near ChurchStSt) are more crowded than anything I've ever seen at the tourist sites. The problem is, it's all the same booty-music you'll find in any other tacky bar at any given city in the country. But if you're looking for hot half-naked chicks showing their silicone, that's the place to go.
