No, the Top Hat held dances and people went there in tuxedos! I think there was gambling there too. I mistyped when I said I went there, I passed it every day. There was a building next to that that was an apartment building with a store in the basement, I don't remember what kind of store, maybe jewelry, real small. One of my classmates lived in the building with his mother. Genealogy: Life in the Past Lane! In a message dated 3/23/2009 6:30:53 P.M.
