The Blockist had been absent from the Circus for a while, so he visited last week for an update. What could possibly go wrong, he asked himself? Most of the regular Circus performers were present, including…

The Blockist has been touring the Block in search of new adventures of late. A number of favorite dancers have moved on/moved out/moved up/moved over and it's time to make new contacts and explore new…

The Blockist notes that long-time bartender/manager George has been moved from the night shift back to daytime three days a week. Someone said that his mission is to bring daytime business back up to par.…
