The originality is killing me. This has nothing to do with the venues or their owners (I love going to most of these places), but I am so over seeing a club/bar/restaurant/lounge/etc. named after its address. To prove my point, check out all the establishments in San Francisco named after a street number and/or street name. Yawn.

Perhaps the owners of Loft 11 (316 11th St.) felt the same way--they have since changed their name to Mist. I'm sure others have too, seeing that the novelty of having drunk, forgetful people remember your establishment because it corresponds with a street name or number, quickly wears off.
