No loss. Sorry about the lost jobs though.
metalman.

Who has money to sit in these places anyway?

And to pay top dollar for watered down swill?

Good riddance.

We're coming to your neighbourhood pub next.

if the rummies have no place to go, they will be in YOUR neighborhood.
Better to have a dive downtown than no where for the drunks to play.

This is also a lost opportunity to monitor gang members as they apparently like to frequent the Cadillac

Although I have never been in there and I have my doubts that if by closing it will or would curtail drug or gang activity
I just hope the city has a use for the premises, as there are some who have an agenda of little or no liquor in our city
I hope it doesn't just sit empty

place is / was a dump

went there 2 years ago post company christmas party. One of the few reasons
I'm ever downtown. Bathroom door kicked in,
puke all over in it. Pay phone ripped apart. When our group went to leave they refused to call me cab post serving me several times.

I called Liq board next day and went throught the hoops to lodge a valid
well taken complaint

good ridance

Downtown Prince George, if it is ever to be an inviting place, has to get rid of these dumps. I'm amazed that it was City property in the first place.

C'est le vie

I remember when it was the rock pit. Unfortunately if it shuts down the gang members will only go someplace else. But I was under the impression that they went to the Generator and the 1st ave pub.....

Everyone and everything is moving to the suburbs ...... first the retailers, then the bars and clubs ......

much more of this and we can watch the Hart and College Heights become Surrey-like and Coquitlam-like ....

In one way I am glad this has happened, but there will be fall out. My business in the downtown area is down, down a lot. This will obviously have an affect on my colleagues and I.

With people not coming downtown, they will go elsewhere. The smoking ban has already had an effect on the liquor establishments in the downtown are. We are starting to see lots of trouble at a couple of pubs on the edge of the bowl area and beyond. These are establishments that use to have their regular customers, neighbours if you will!!

The one thing I have noticed, people that are drinking at the pubs, and invited over to their friends homes to have drinks and a SMOKE, are not taking too many cabs. They are going home via the back roads, trying to avoid the law. An accident can happen on a back road as well as on a busy street.

So, in the big scheme of things, I think the city is making a big mistake on this one. They should leave it downtown, instead of ruining another neighborhood with this garbage!!

Just my oppinion

Were you not moving out of prince george anyways taxi? Due to PG being such a dump?

yep, but my tax dollars are still at work. Any other brilliant questions. Try to stay on topic, OK!!

It was a poor unlit location for PG's top night club. I have nothing good to say about the ownership, although its been years since I've been there. I think this was a good move for more reasons than will probably ever be made public. They were subsidized by the tax payer of this city for their building and liquor license for too long IMO.

I think new ownership at the old Chances bingo hall (hopefully stays country) would be good for the city. Someone with some class and deep pockets preferably. A new focus to a better more well lit part of town for night life activity. PG has no night life because the ownership in this town run dumps legitimized and monopolized by their liquor licenses.

Eagleone................what???

Why are you talking about Chances, when we are talking about the Cadillac Ranch!! Do you work for the City, and you just had a slip of the tongue?? Do you know something we don't know??? Just wondering Eagleone

HEAR YEA, HEAR YEA, the Cadillac is moving to the Chances Bingo Hall building!! Eagleone hopes that they will still "stay country" What a bunch of rubbish!

Maybe they will move to the old "Rum Jungle" It's only a thought!!

I just think, they should keep these kind of establishments down town!!

The_grandinquisitor, I remember when it was a vacant lot, and Harold Moffat stepped out of council for the vote! His company, Northern Hardware, owned the property. The Proposal was to build the parkade that we see today! It has always been a City property, since the Moffats sold it to the City. I may be wrong, and if I am, I will apologize!!

Well thats another thought I never thought of.... You never know... maybe both will open up something?

For the record I have no connection to the city, but it just seems logical.

Well, it could be converted from a low level dive, into low level parking...

It amazes me how even those who have never been to the clubs downtown have so much to say. As a working musician who plays the Cadillac I have seen the clientele on a regular basis and the closure is a real blow to the 30+ demographic that goes there. Drugs will always be in the clubs and pubs and that likely wont change . I dont condone it but I also think shutting down night clubs is not going to eliminate that. The clientel in the Cadillac are for the most part good people. I am a hard working contributor to the tax base who has a hobby of being a musician and one who loves to play music but because I play the Cadillac does that make me a low life? Does it make all the patrons who are people I see often working hard at there respective jobs (including city employees) low lifes because they go there and dance the night away. I will agree that the place needed work and agreements on the lease could be beneficial but to close it down just took away yet another opportunity for people to socialize and dance as well as kill opportunities for local musicians to play. Not to mention job loss. Not everyone at the Cadillac was part of the criminal element. I hope it reopens someday. There's almost no late night entertainment left and in a city this size that makes no sense.

I've never been a Dan Rogers fan until now, good work to all involved at the city.

Place was a dive, uneven, disgusing floors, gross bathrooms, funny smells, the list goes on. If the management had kept it up I would have gone there more often.

Business decision says it all. They likely had no choice.

I gotta agree with vocer, I go there every now and then... I have a job.. I don't do drugs... I go for fun. The first group date I had with my wife was there. As for the criminal element I work in the area and would rather have the Caddy than the crackhouse down the street. Last thing, everyone who posted here glad it is closed, have fun with the house parties in your neighborhood because there is no where else to go.

Travism, if you drink alcohol you do drugs and if there are noisy house parties keeping anyone up all night just call 250-561-3300 and the noise will be dealt with.

We have a 24/7 noise bylaw in PG. With some exceptions of course.

So is it to be prohibition, again?
Are we to have a dry city?
Get real man!!
Alcohol is a legal consumable and these businesses provide a place for the activity of getting intoxicated. It is also a social activity. I used to party quit a bit, but have not for many years because I grew into a responsible employed citizen that could not afford the luxury. I still like to have nip once in a while and even tie on a real good drunk on the rare occasion. I loved it when it was the Rock Pit and was sorely disappointed when it went country.

The teetotalers expressing gratitude for shutting down another night spot are the same ones that will report you for dashing from the bathroom to the bedroom in the buff in your own home or some such thing. Busy body!

If you do not drink or have any vices, good for you and your lame boring life. It is up to each individual what past times to engage in as long as it is not against the law or harms any one.
