re: #123 teleskiguy

I haven’t seen the movie either but I’m imagining the bar the kids go to on their road trip in Animal House.

The Apollo marks a watershed for me. In the early 60s I could put my white ass on a bicycle and pedal from my hovel on 77th St to anywhere I wanted in Harlem. I had plans to go up one night and see Jimmy Smith on organ at the Apollo. A few hours before I left work, a white cop shot a 14 yr old kid, and all that was over. Tamir Rice is at the end of a long, long, train.
