As the 1980s began, only a handful of the traditional Hot Corner businesses remained in place. The Manhattan Cafe, a popular restaurant and bar owned by the Wade family, had weathered the many changes that took place in Athens over the preceding years. Then, in 1983, things changed again. The Manhattan Cafe got some new neighbors, courtesy of the Athens Police Department. Broderick and Aleck ask why the local government decided to create a police “substation” just a few doors down from the Cafe, and they explore the impact of this decision on the last spot for Black nightlife on Hot Corner.
