From that page on philly forums:
| quote: | Unfortunately, it's true. My father in law, who actually owns the building and the licenses told me last night that he wanted operations seazed immediately. As bad as I feel, I have to honor his wishes as he is really the boss. Unfortunately I put a lot on trust in people that never deserved it and in the end we all loose out. I take full responsibility for what happened at One14, because at the end of the day, things happened right under my nose. I was too stupid to see it and too trusting to realize my own friends would do such things, but such is life..
I wanted to call and speak with everyone on my staff personally, so they would hear it from me, as they deserve nothing less, unfortunately, when I got home last night it was a bit late and I only called 3 people to let them know and I figured I would call everyone else this morning. But, once you tell one person it spreads like wildfire and the rumors start flying. So for those members of my staff that found out through a text message or through a bulletin board; I'm sorry. I have been on the phone all morning trying to get to everyone that is affected by this, but I guess rumors travel quicker than my long apologies.
On a personal note, I would like to thank everyone that I've had the honor and privilege of working with over the past 2 years. It has a been a pleasure and I thank you for welcoming me to a city that wasn't my own and embracing me and supporting my efforts and dreams. I did my best pushing for what I believed in and so dearly love, but I guess my timing was wrong. I'm not sure what the future holds for me, but I have my family and some great friends, and some amazing memories from One14 that I will forever treasure and hold very dear.
So, a heartfelt thanks for the privilege to be a part of your scene and allowing me to express myself.
Humbly;
Manny

Emerald City is shutting down soon enough too. Suppossed to turn into a restaurant or something. |
personally, i could care less if this place closes down...
great place for parties and a home to many great phila. dj's...
but over time, it's just gotten nastier and nastier
we need to start looking for a new major venue
but losing one14 was a huge bummer :(
i loved everything about that place!
esp. the eden room
many good times were had and will be remembered from here |

I agree that Em City is a dump, but if it closes where are you going to go late night? 125 blows because its way too small. Transit is ghetto. Mansion seems to have a weird crowd, plus it feels like its someones house. Pulse is tiny. I think thats it for afterhours places, right??? |

Yeah you're absolutely right...
*Lesigh* I just wish we had a classier venue with toilets that work, non-makeshift DJ set-ups in the backroom, and *good* drinks served in actual glasses! |

I like Transit, if it only had decent sound. Actually if any club in philly had decent sound.... |

it is really sad to hear this about one14. I started hearing about the place last winter and had been meaning to get down there. tried to a couple of times and then things came up and I couldn't. They certainly had a lot of great names coming in there.
I hope the Philly scene will pick up. it's a great area. Hate to see it slowing down like that. |
