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.

Was that Delaware Daddy's in the River Quay that exploded? Originally Posted by The Sixth BeatleIt's been so long I don't remember. But that was something that made KC interesting. Now, not so much. 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.
What was the joint down there that got blown up? Some place owned by a used car dealer that led to a shooting and so on.Judge Roy Beans and Delaware Daddys, were both in the same building. Louie Ribaste and Paul Scola owned them.
Good times, like when some goons bombed the Belfonte dairy... Originally Posted by NoahScape

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. Originally Posted by bbwloverI think your talking about Anthony Bonomo's place, AB's Lounge. Tony was the front owner for Jimmy Duardi. 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..
