Maurice reportedly had less talent for the nightclub world than Peter. In 1983, Gatien moved to New York to open another Limelight club and his brother Maurice was given the reins of the Atlanta club.
It was housed in a strip mall in the former home of the Harlequin Dinner Theatre. When it burned to the ground in the late 70's, Peter Gatien turned to Atlanta for his next incarnation of Limelight. Two were located in old churches: the one in New York and the one in London: The Limelight is the name of a string of different nightclubs that were owned and operated by Peter Gatien: one in Miami, one in Atlanta, one in New York, and one in London.
