I went to Central High School and on weekends we would go to the KINO Club...at Brophy. Don't think I have ever seen a post. That was like 1970. In 1978, I worked at the Lunt Ave Marble Club at Uptown Plaza. Fun times!
Rest in peace, Metrocenter! We're gonna miss you - even though we haven't seen you in the last 30 years.
The clubs were great back then - Graham Central Station/Studio West(name changed)/Graham Central Station (name changed back), After the Gold Rush, Devil House, Mr. Lucky's, Malarchy's, Zazoo's, whatever that place in Valley West Mall was, Bobby McGee's (off I-17), Farrah's, Grand Camel Club, Bobby's and Preston's. Then there were the normal after-work, grab-a-pitcher kinds of places like Hayloft, Stackers, and your choice of seven Dirty Drummer's... and restaurants like Bennigan's and Houlihan's. There were the radio personalities like Crazy Dave Otto, Jonathan Brandmeier, Dave Pratt, and Steve Goddard (still on the radio, thank God). On TV were Bill Close and Mary Jo West, Linda Alvarez, Stu Tracy, Kent Dana, Dewey Hopper... and on KAET there was Cinema Classics with Nick Salerno.
