30 years ago you were placing your life at risk walking through the parking lot and not much better when you got in! Above it the Claremont was a flop house before it totally closed. Fech football was competitive. Now the lounge is below a French restaurant (not bad) and a boutique hotel with a fantastic rooftop bar. gt football sucks.

Right after graduating from GA I lived for about a year near Piedmont Hospital in an apt. Buckhead was still a fun living breathing thing (I miss those fishbowls at LuLus) the Gold Club was open and robbing any dumbasses willing to toss down a credit card, the Clermont Lounge was were you went after getting tossed out of the Pony, or Flashers, or Cheetah…damn, I ran with some real sacks of trash 🧐

He certainly had this tech team playing at a much higher level than his predecessor. I guess we’ll see if he can raise the bar on recruiting.
LikeLiked by 2 people
He may be able to raise the bar, but unless Tech gets a wealth of resources influx they won’t be in the recruiting game where they would need to be to compete with Georgia or Clemson or the top of the ACC. Tech just doesn’t have the resources to recruit the top kids nationally that they would need. From what I hear from people that attend camps with top HS talent, it is rare for a Georgia Tech coach to be in attendance.

Nowadays The Clermont is pretty much a tourist trap that has lost a lot of its old clientele and is coasting off its reputation from the old days. In other words, they’ve got more in common with Tech than you might think.

Good God, haven’t thought about the Clermont in like forever. Is it still a music venue with strippers (or perhaps a strip joint with live music)? Last time I was there 30 years ago a friend of mine was performing in a Girl Band named Snatch (yeah, I know), which was opening for the legendary weirdo band Opall Foxx (a free-floating assemblage of like 20 rock musicians with a few cellists thrown in). Mid-performance, Opall Foxx’s lead singer did an impromptu fundraiser for the strippers (“Let’s get some real snatch up here!”), including Blondie, of course. Quite the place in its hey-day.

This seems like a good time to tell my favorite Clermont story. I went there when I turned 25. My buddy bought me a birthday lap dance. The stripper starts doing her thing, and asks me “how old are you?”
“25.”
“My son just turned 25!”
The song they put on was Purple Rain, which is over 8 minutes long.
“This is a really long song!” she said.
Lady, you have no idea. I haven’t gotten a lap dance or listened to Prince since.

I guess that meaningless halfback pass against our 2nd and 3rd team defense got him the job. It would be fitting for a Fech man to be at the helm when we throw the Drought on the ash heap of college football history on November 28, 2026 on the hallowed sod of Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium.
