Wow, four thumbs up! Thanks guys. Now that I'm getting into this, it seems as though JD had two establishments, this Yacht Club, which appears to be kind of a night spot type place, then there was his Joe DiMaggio's Grotto seen over on this thread
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...?t=114028Which may have been just for eating, no floor show and dancing. If so he probably would have been influenced by Toot's Shor's in NYC, and tried to put something like it out in San Francisco....no telling if it worked, i. e. was successful. I'll be keeping my eyes open for info on the two places to better understand them. Below is an old snapshot of one of DiMaggio's concerns, that Sam and Stella Quaglierini had at the 06' National, seen on this page
