Familiar 'Faces'

Rumor has it that Faces, the former lesbian bar off of Edgewater Drive, will be returning to Central Florida. The new space is located in Forest City, in the Publix Gateway Shopping Center off of state road 434.



The original bar closed shortly after the owner passed away and although many fought to try to keep the legendary club open it eventually shut its doors for good a little while back.



Well, it seems someone believed in the bar enough to reopen those doors, well not exactly the original doors but you get the point. Question is how well a lesbian bar will do in a predominantly surburban location, I mean it's a Publix shopping center. The original patrons will surely come out in droves when it has its grand opening, let's just see if they keep coming after. Either way, with the gay bars dropping like flies in this town, its nice to see a familiar face come back into the fold. Even if it may look completely different.



When I find out an opening date I'll let you know.

I was driving past Faces this morning (8/17/07) and saw that they were repainting the building blue. I noticed that they taped over the Faces sign on the front of the building so they wouldn't paint over it. I was hoping that meant someone was re-opening the club at that location.

Do you know what's happening with the building the original Faces was in?

I was wondering the same thing. When will Faces be re-opening?

Sue Hannah will be greatly missed.. her smile and kindness is forever in many hearts.. but I think she would have wanted all of "her girls" to be together again.

From what I understand that is also going to be a new predominantly lesbian bar, however, not from the same group that worked/frequented the old Faces. Those folks are the ones opening the place in the Publix shopping center. In fact, I heard a rumor the soft opening is this weekend.
