World Cafe Live, a Philadelphia nightclub, is being recruited to open a branch at Heritage Square, according to Durham architect Eddie Belk.
Belk dropped the club's name during the Durham Planning Commission meeting this evening. He was there to speak in favor of an amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance that would allow nightclubs within 50 feet of a place of worship.
"World Cafe Live provides a broad stream of entertainment," Belk said, including "PB&J" afternoon shows for small children.
“It’s not what first comes to mind a lot of times when we first think about bars and nightclubs,” he said.
The Heritage Square property adjoins that of St. Mark's AME Zion Church.
