Duffy's "A Rock & Roll Alternative" In a building that was a former railroad worker's hotel, Duffy's was a punk rock club in the early 80's near this intersection.

It had an outdoor volleyball court, basketball hoops, and decks for with outdoor seating. The stage was inside under a domed ceiling. In 1983/84, Duffy's was converted into a new wave disco called Norma Jean's (with a Marilyn Monroe theme), and scaled back on booking bands. On November 3, 1997, the building was demolished.

My distorted thoughts on myopia, dystopian ping-pong, and the eye-popping gore cartoons of Your Flesh Fanzine.
