Who Owns This Magical Place?
Let's talk about Magic Island, Houston. Not the mythical, mermaid-filled paradise you're imagining (sorry to burst your bubble), but the actual, concrete, neon-lit one. You know, the place that was once the talk of the town, a glittering oasis in the heart of the Bayou City?
A Tale of Two Islands
Now, there are two types of people in this world: those who think Magic Island is a legendary lost city, and those who know it's a real place that used to be really cool. If you're in the latter group, you're probably wondering, "Who owns this magical, or should I say, formerly magical place?"
Well, my friend, the answer is not as mystical as the name suggests. It's a down-to-earth individual named Mohammad Athari. Yep, a regular Joe, or should we say, a regular neurologist. Who knew the man behind the stethoscope also had a penchant for resurrecting iconic Houston landmarks?
The Magic is (Slowly) Returning
Athari bought the place a few years back with grand plans to restore its former glory. Think disco balls, flashing lights, and maybe even a water slide or two. But as we all know, good things take time. Especially when you're dealing with a venue that’s been through a hurricane, a fire, and more vandalism than a teenage boy's bedroom.
So, while we wait for the day when Magic Island is once again the place to be seen, let's appreciate the journey. It's like watching a caterpillar slowly transform into a butterfly. Or, more accurately, a dilapidated building slowly transform into a nightclub.
