The Zoxx Social Club in Janesville, Wisconsin, was demolished on February 26 to make way for an $8 billion data center. The bar, which served as a community hub since the General Motors plant's closure in 2008, was seized by the city through eminent domain.

Originally called 'Zachow', the bar resisted GM's attempts to shut it down, evolving into a venue for local events. The Wilsons, who acquired it in 2020, hosted various community activities before the demolition. The loss has drawn reflections on its historical significance and community impact.
