New Hangout*
Introducing a new hangout for wildlife lovers. No, we re not talking
about a new zoo, we're talking about the city's newest high-energy
dance club and lounge — Club Safari. Located in the heart ot the
urban jungle, Club Safari is the perfect place to spend an adven
turous evening on the town or swing by after work. And it's open
ing soon — because the natives are getting restless.
