Rebirth of Houston's Magic Island: A look inside the pharaoh's head No description found
HOUSTON – Have you ever wondered what went on inside the building on the Southwest Freeway that had a pharaoh's head on it?
When Magic Island opened in 1983, it was a dinner-theater club at 2215 Southwest Freeway.
A fire, caused by Hurricane Ike in 2008, forced the venue to close its doors. Magic Island did not open after the fire, according to an article by the Houston Chronicle .
Thanks to Dr. Ahtari, that will no longer be the case in mid-November, if all goes according to plan.
New developers are returning the venue to its original glory and reopening it.
Here are photos of the current state of the project :
