I was up there for a holiday visit & went by Scorgies to take a photo for posterity. I don’t know how long it’s been since it closed for the last time, but the 2nd floor windows are broken out. I shot a couple of panoramic photos & decided to post them as a bookend to the reunion show. Sort of a reality check. I’m sure everyone will recall that the further door on the left was the original entrance to the upstairs bar, and the nearer door on the right led to the restaurant side as well as the stairs down to the live room. Those who were in bands will also recognize the alleyway side entrance where they would load in.

Such a plain, pedestrian building. No one would ever believe this was the place that ruled the Rochester night, long ago. NIce pictures, thanks for posting them.
I miss Rochester.

Are u serious? I think its like 18 degrees today back there. What’s it in Florida Rich, like 75 degrees? The old Scorgies days were fun, but I do not miss Rochester one bit…

I mailed it out to you at LEAST two weeks ago…To the mailing address you sent me. I’m not kidding.
I was wondering why I never received a “Thank You” card.

Wow…. You guys went from being on the forefront of Rochester’s Punk Movement to Discussing the weather on a website. And I’m the bad guy here???
I guess it is better to burn out than fade away.

BTW Happy New Year everyone…
This year I plan to lead the Federal League in PM.

The Federal League? Sounds like you are a hockey player. Leading a league in penalty minutes is much more fun than leading it in goals or assists! Go DJ Thurmie Thurm, drop those gloves!! Go Penguins and
Happy New Year also.

Just ask those Laben goons. They were the Hanson Brothers of the WHLA. Both 1-2 in penalty minutes, cheap shots, misconduct penalties, fighting majors and just general boorishness. CLaben even refused to pay fines levied by the league president. Both shining examples of what is important in lacrosse or hockey.

I noticed a lot of the people here have moved over to facebook. Not to worry.
I have a feeling that they will grow older, have new priorities and eventually abandon it. Just like Scorgies!!!!

I put my ‘fine’ check in the mail like 32 years ago… You mean you never received it? And I think the Coyotes are going to be in the playoffs for the first time in a while – who knows about the Penguins… Although I did see Crosby got in a fight yesterday.

The NY Rangers will figure it out. Trust Me. All hail king Henrik!

Penguins are reeling. They lose to Florida 6-1 and they are not scoring.
I don’t know what is wrong. Should be an interesting game against the Rangers Monday night on Versus. Seems like the Bruins, Red Wings, Rangers are the class of the league this year. Despite their poor performance of late, Penguins can do no wrong in my book.

Penguins looked ‘good’ again tonight…It’s time to fire a coach or something. They stink.
Go Sharks.

I drove by the Scorgies location a few weeks ago.
Kinda sad to see that empty!
You would think it would be a great location for something!
I drove down the alley towards the warehouse.
Many memories loading in and out of the back doors!
