It was definitely a little hole-in-the-wall place that always left me wondering how my dad knew about it! As I remember it, it really fit the stereotype. It had red leatherette booths and the walls were a pale green, and there was a huge (for a child) golden Buddah in the front. Louie's wife ran the cash register. It seems to me that their daughter went to college on the west coast and became a marine biologist. The food was, of course, excellent.<br /><br />What I had forgotten about until seeing the photo was that Stoner's Magic was right next door. I believe Stoner did magic on local television, probably Saturday morning?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649979880788002975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384662678304810045.post-49511056188010674732008-11-02T22:09:00.000-05:002008-11-02T22:09:00.000-05:00Why no post for 3 months?Why no post for 3 months?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384662678304810045.post-64353826300175998982008-10-31T23:11:00.000-04:002008-10-31T23:11:00.000-04:00Wow what a neat sight !Ive tried for years to find...Wow what a neat sight !Ive tried for years to find anything on the Cat's Meow-In the late 60's early 70's i was lead dancer at the Cat's -working with Little Richard, Tina Turner,Fat's Domino to name a few.The Kleinrichards owned it 4 brothers,Jim-Don-Ken-Jerry.Wonder what happened to them ?The dance floor lite up all colors and the dancer walks were Cat Tails,You couldnt get in at the time without a jacket and tie.Love also to see pictures of Northcrest lanes .Scott's bowling alley, that was my Uncle Everett Scott who played for the New York Yankee's sorry so long !Vicki Shepherd (Warsaw Indiana)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384662678304810045.post-57802211668254159732008-08-01T11:28:00.000-04:002008-08-01T11:28:00.000-04:00OK Kristina, you so kindly said that I could send ...OK Kristina, you so kindly said that I could send requests so here goes.
