Prodigy: Fall River's New Under 21 Night Spot

Carlos Colon

Let me begin by saying wow, or how my boy Heavy D said it, "WOW with a couple of exclamation points." Calling Fall River's newest under 21 spot a "club" doesn't do it justice. Yes, it looks, vibes, and acts like one, and yet it's not. What differentiates Prodigy from Roxy, Element or Complex is its versatility. If you're a musician, there's Battle of the Bands. If you're a poet with words that need to be heard, there's Open Mic Night. If you're a gamer, there's Game Night. If you're a humanitarian, there are Community Service Projects. The list goes on and on: Hip Hop dances, Karaoke Night, etc.

Not only does Prodigy compel your excitement to reach an all-time high, it's far from looking like that bumping house party from the block. With the lounge area, and even a VIP spot, the only word that even a hater himself could utter would be "class." And no, I don't mean classroom. A luxurious place it is, with lavish art portraits hung up to enlighten those who care to look. Prodigy itself is the crème de la crème, but not even that fancy word is suitable enough. It's extravagant, yes, but nothing is wasted. A picture is worth a thousand words, they say, but not even a thousand is enough to describe Prodigy. This renders the pictures I took useless and unpresentable. This is one of those "seeing is believing" moments, so you have to go yourself to believe my words. A perfect time might be this Friday or Saturday night from 8-12. Admission is $10 and worth it. See the information below for any questions and thoughts that might run through your mind.
