Producers of creator Chris Haddock's new CBC TV series "Intelligence" have invaded Vancouver's Granville downtown core, notably the 'Penthouse Night Club' on Seymour, now renamed the "Chick A Dee" for the series.
Premise of the gritty show focuses on 'Jimmy Reardon' (Ian Tracey) an illegal drugs distributor and strip club owner. Reardon is devoted to raising a daughter while ensuring his family business continues to run smoothly.
The Penthouse Night Club was established in 1947, hosting popular singing/jazz acts of the day, including The Mills Bros., Jimmy Durante and Louis Armstrong.
