Rivertown Lounge


Does anyone remember the old Rivertown Lounge bar on Orchard Street? It was demolished recently to make way for the 20-story building now going up on the block. I played pool there once with some other photographer friends, likely sometime in early 2001 or possibly late 2000. But I do remember that the pool table was in a secluded back room devoted strictly for the table. There must've been some great action going on, I wish it was still there. I used to have a swing-lens Widelux panoramic camera that I carried around. Here's a shot from way back then. This is a 1/15th of a second photograph (which took 2.5 seconds considering the sweep of the lens), pre-smoking ban.
