What was the old strip club on 38th and Maine

The Old Chelsea was where I once watched a stripper get completely naked and then get on a blanket on the floor with a large dildo and proceed give it a proper workout.
The Chelsea 2 in the river quey was never ever a 1st or 2nd run theatre. It was always an adult venue. The owner was a connected guy, who once told the PD that he had to allow the girls to give blow jobs or he would not be able to stay open LOL. Originally Posted by dirty dog

Good times, like when some goons bombed the Belfonte dairy...

We now have the Power and Light District that was developed by New Yorkers, where you can go have a dinner from a chain restaurant. Not like the good old days of the Italian Gardens and Jenny's, etc.

Oh well.

I think it was Judge Roy Beans that blew up. The Warehouse burned. It was the place that had the wet t-shirt contests.

Judge Roy Beans and Delaware Daddys, were both in the same building. Louie Ribaste and Paul Scola owned them.

The goons wouldnt have done that if daddy's little boy would have paid his $300,000.00 gambling debt.

The dove and Rays were my first porno experiences!


...I then went to the bathroom, wrote on the wall "go to the corner of 22nd and troost and meet Trixie , in the tight red dress , tell her Johnny sent you". My first review. Malwoody was jealous. Originally Posted by Johnny4455

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Hell! Since you guys are being so helpful, does anybody remember a strip club on Wornall rd. I have a vague memory from when I was a teenager going into a bar to get change for the bus. The guy was screaming at us to get the hell out if there. I was pretty sure there was a chick dancing. I want to say the bar was near where Tommy Farha's is ( 79th- 83rd st). Who knows, maybe I stumbled into some wild times at a regular bar.

Duardi owned a lot of businesses out south, the Old Fortress bar at 85 and troost, AB's, Booths tow, J and L refrigeration. Jimmy was an old school gangster, he made his bones back in the late 40's and is suspected to have partnered with Nick Civella in the murders of Charlie Binaggio and Charlie Gargotta, the boss and underboss at the time. Lots of stuff went down at AB's,. You could get drunk, high, laid and place a bet all at the same time..

Cotton eyed Joes - if people back then knew just how dangerous a place this was no one would have ever gone there. It was owned by Joe Cammisano and ran by his son Joe Jr. If you guys know how fucking mean Willie Cammisano was, his brother Joe's temper was twice as volatile.

Johnny, I was thinking along those same lines. DD, you are one interesting guy and I very much enjoy your stories of the "old time" KC. Hope you're working on that book as we speak. I, also, would purchase that book!!
