The Riverbottom Room (basement) was not as big as upstairs, but it still held about 300 people. 5 will get ya 10 that it's still down there and used for storage or whatnot because the logistics of having to fill it in would be enormous and for what end?

Don't know for sure when JD's stopped being a club, but it's got to be at least 30 years or more and a lot of changes can occur in that time.

Saw that people were posting about Denny Gleason here. He goes back quite some time ago. The Phoenix Library has the Denny Gleason Street Guide, dated 1934. In it he explains how it worked. It was based on the intersection of Central and Van Buren, and how many miles you were from that point. He had a men's clothing store at that time on south Central. I saw these signs too, most were gone by the early 70's.

You mean now, or historically? Ask on the Prescott forum, this is a Phoenix area thread.
