Russellville Ballroom is gone....

[Bigdaddy]

Just seen on the news that it has been demolished

Sheila & I seen the band Kansas there in the late 80s early 90s Twice
we had tickets for 1st show & then we ate dinner & watched second show free
it was a great peice of local history, it was built in the 30s ,
Over 60 years, it swung to the sounds of Tommy Dorsey and Guy Lombardo and rocked to the likes of Grand Funk Railroad and Foghat.
alot of cool bands have been thru there, they had hundreds of pictures on the walls there,
we used to eat there alot in the 80s/90s ,we hung out at richfield park & it was a close place to get a awesome meal....
another piece of history gone.....
