The Limelight: A Church Turned Clubbing Mecca
Let's get this straight: the Limelight wasn't just any club. It was a freaking church. Yes, you read that right. A place of worship transformed into a place of worship...different kind of worship, if you catch my drift. It was like God said, "Alright, enough with the hymns, let's turn up the bass!"
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
Located at the epic address of Sixth Avenue and West 20th Street in Chelsea, NYC, this Gothic Revival beauty opened its doors (or should we say, its stained glass windows?) to the public in November 1983. Can you imagine the irony of dancing to techno beats under those holy stained glass windows? Pure genius, we say.
QuickTip: A short pause boosts comprehension.
From Church to Clubbing Paradise
Now, the Limelight wasn't just about the location. It was an experience. It was where the club kids reigned supreme, where fashion was out of this world, and where the music was so loud, you'd swear you were at a rock concert. It was the place to be seen, or not be seen, depending on your vibe.
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.

But alas, all good things must come to an end. The Limelight as we knew it closed its doors in 2003. Cue dramatic music. But fear not, clubbing enthusiasts! The building still stands, and it's now a theater. So, if you're looking for a more seated experience, you can always catch a show there.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
So, to answer your burning question: The Limelight was located at Sixth Avenue and West 20th Street in New York City.
