Does anyone remember the purple onion go-go bar on free pike in Dayton,Ohio? If so, do you remember the newspaper article written about the dancers who worked there, and also some of the other dance clubs in Dayton Such as the dragon lady lounge. I am trying to find the date of that article so I can look it up. It was sometime in 1965. If anyone knows this I would sure like to know.
