Girls, I Think This Was The Old Vero Beach "Bamboo Lounge" From My Youth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                               Save for the name change and the sign, it looks exactly the same, as I recognized it right away.  I always thought this was the inspiration for "The Slow Club" in David Lynch's 1986 masterpiece, "Blue Velvet."

                               The tragedy is in all my years of visiting Vero Beach--when my father and his siblings all lived there--I never tot to visit this place.  I did not drive, and I could not get anyone to drop me off there.  Who knows if I would have come back?  Who knows what goes on in there?

                                The building is still sleazy and cheap, as befits it, but I love the Betty Boop logo, and the name "Shadows Lounge" is OK.

                               Ah, youth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  What memories it brings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
