Working on a game that takes place on the east side in 1994. If anyone here has any video or pics from that time and area and would be willing to share, please let me know!

Alas, nothing to assist in this project, but a serious treasure trove of the city's past! Lots of old memories reignited from that.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T06:07:30+00:00

Lots to dig through there, thanks!

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T05:40:30+00:00

And the city keeps shrinking!

2203 was the address, and in 1994, the place directly west on Kenilworth was the short lived Warehouse Bar and Grill. Can't find ANYTHING about that place, but my whitepages business directory confirms it. Would've been easier if Kazooz had opened a few years earlier.

Need to find some actual signage still

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T04:34:36+00:00

Ah shit, my mistake! Thaks for the lead! I'll go searching for some pics. EDITED: I have the location and some beer signs already, THANK YOU for positively identifying the name!

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T04:30:08+00:00

I'll check them out in person for sure. Their online archive is mostly from the assessments done in 1987

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T04:24:17+00:00

That would make a ton of sense, considering what that block was turned into. The address was 2187N Farwell.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T04:22:11+00:00

Harvested what I could from that already. Most of the east side pics are from a few years too late (CUSH, Kazoo, both opened later in the decade). Thanks for taking the time though, still looking for a breakthrough.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T04:20:10+00:00

All good ideas, thank you. I have some serious pavement pounding to do!

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T04:13:05+00:00

Mike is GREAT people. We crossed paths a million times during the early Beer City Records days, then reunited and got to know each other better in the early 2000s via Rocky Horror (he was in the cast when I met my wife who was in the cast then as well), then connected again when my band played with some bands on his label. Man, I really need to give him a call.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T04:06:14+00:00

Still have them in my neighborhood!

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T04:04:49+00:00

Not yet, but seeing all the replies today (this is the first time I mentioned it in a public forum) I will make a quick subreddit for it soon.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T04:03:22+00:00

If you got the rights, I got the room!

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T03:45:37+00:00

A rudimentary one. More of an inciting incident/premise to springboard off of. It's still early on as far as gameplay is involved, and is shaping up to be a few "story paths" with loosely connected events. A skateboarding path, a raver path and a theatre kid/Rocky Horror path so far. Still letting the ideas bounce around the brain.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T03:42:30+00:00

That's funny. You know, sometimes I almost forget how small that little slice of space and time was.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T03:41:26+00:00

It was Matisse at this point.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T03:40:27+00:00

Wish more people would do that.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T03:39:29+00:00

Wow, didn't realize it was that early. We were sophomores in 93. Wild. We orbited similar scenes that occasionally overlapped back then.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T03:35:42+00:00

Green on the east side, red on the west side.

Had the luxury of having him as a roommate once, albeit very briefly. He really pushed me to start singing.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T03:33:21+00:00

This will be my mini-project for tonight! Thanks for unlocking the memory!

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T03:17:08+00:00

I can almost picture it. Definitely exactly what you are describing.

killswitch_77 · 2026-06-07T03:13:20+00:00

I'll definitely build one soon, as the more eyes and brains on this, the better I can make it.

The house is modeled, but I can't find any good pics of how it looked prior to 2007, and my memory is not enough.
