Talk:Crawford Grill

Racial demographic of musicians and patrons
I have removed this section because it lacks verification. I intended to verify it and add it back, when appropriate: "Music lovers flocked to the Crawford Grill to hear  White musicians who played downtown venues would go uptown to "The Grill" after their gigs to jam into the night with black musicians.  The Crawford Grill was a meeting spot for people of all colors who loved jazz." Aolivex (talk) 16:23, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Location of Crawford Grill No. 1
Conflicting information: currently listed as Wylie and Crawford; Carnegie Magazine names location as "1401 Wylie" at Townsend. Colter Harper's dissertation seems to suggest this location (formerly Leader House) is at Townsend, but the PDF is too blurry to see. Emailed Colter and awaiting confirmation.

It was a place to buy whiskey
The bartender sold drinks. Calling the establishment "a reknowned jazz club" is not necessarily accurate. Whiskey was the product that brought in the money.HeyYallYo 11:43, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

As of this date, no one patronizes the empty building at 2141 Wylie Avenue. Numerous vacant lots and abandoned buildings are close at hand. "A business with a for sale sign on it is a poor investment" is an old idiomatic bit of advice that I have heard. Take your chances YO.
