MY MURAL AT KC'S OLD PINK DOOR BAR ON THE 12TH STREET STRIP...Owner gives it his final tap of approval...60s photo
Mike was a great guy who enjoyed life to the fullest. He owned, or managed, or it seemed he did, the PINK DOOR GO GO BAR on the old 12th Street Strip in Kansas City, Missouri. Here, he is putting a finishing touch on the mural I designed and painted for the establishment. Trying to recall how long it took is a task because I stretched the job as long as I could. The benefits were good and I enjoyed the environment. There were no restrictions on smoking back then. The customers were able to enjoy the freedom of lighting up and blowing second-hand smoke, if they so agreed, in the others face. The dancers often came in early and practiced their special routines for the evening shows. I did not let them distract me from my work. Mike or whoever was on duty kept me hydrated at no charge while I painted. The mural was the pride and joy of the club while it was in operation.
