Oriental Dance Hall near the top of Symonds Street.

I have danced at the Orange and the Peter Pan.
Peter Pan had a sprung floor. When it was made into a night club,
Mainstreet, they covered the floor with another floor, to preserve it.
I can remember a girl got shot and killed outside there, very sad.

Cook Street Market in the basement of the Ace of Clubs and the Browns Mill market. The McKenzies store on the corner of Queen Street and Vulcan Lane. George Courts in K Rd.

Keans for Jeans

still have a glass from the peter pan .it was found in a bag of bottles that came home from there its been sand blasted with the name . you were not allowed to drink there but every body used to take in a bottle and mixers .its hard to beleave you could only buy soft drinks no fruit juice or any thing else . people going in always had a hip flask any a bag of drinks bags were never looked into .them was the days
