``It's sad to see it go,'' Bill Ernst, 30, of Kill Devil Hills said

as he watched the remains of the Atlantis nightclub being torn down

on the Nags Head oceanfront Wednesday to make way for new

development. Numerous entertainment businesses have operated out of

the structure near the Nags Head Fishing Pier since the early

1950s.
