Pulse owner says she will reopen nightclub at new location:
After surprising many last week with her announcement that she wouldn't sell the nightclub to the city of Orlando, Barbara Poma now says she plans to reopen Pulse in a different location but under the same name. Poma tells WMFE 90.7 News that the new club will be similar to the original "because that is what supporters and former staffers say they want when they have gathered at Pulse events since the massacre." Don't expect anything soon, though. Poma says she isn't sure yet about what the future of Pulse looks like, but they are first working on plans for a memorial at the original location.
