31st Street and Main St., Kansas City MO. Lots of big bands like Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman played there in the 30's. There was a Bowling alley in the basement. I missed all that as I was born in the mid 50's but it was later re-opened briefly in 1970 and renamed "Freedom Palace"I think. I went there one time to see (hear) Canned Heat. I remember seeing a cop (security) using bullets for earplugs.
