I had never seen the inside of the Blue Haven in the many times I walked past it on the way to my Boy Scout meetings in 1954. The smoked windows , the adults only atmosphere, the darkness made it something that you only peeked it to see but not for too long certainly not long enough to attract a bouncer's attention So it was an unexpected treat after all those long years to finally see what the place looked like and to even see some of the flyers for what must have been a great night out. I'd love to see the films that were made of those cigar fumed nights.
Thee was another night club in those days on Northern Boulevard which wasn't really my territory (excepting those times that I went to the Boulevard Theater to see a movie) that I think was owned by Sam the Taylor whose sax was a familiar break in the old three minute Rock 'n' Roll songs. Does anyone remember that place?
