Does anybody remember the dances held here in the early 1960's hosted by Carl Bonafede with Dee Jays like Lucky Cordell and Floyd Brown?

I asked my mother if she remembered Luigi's, since she lived on Maplewood and LeMoyne; she did, and said she remembered it being a small restaurant and pizzeria located closer to Western Avenue that eventually grew into the banquet hall facilities. She moved from the neighborhood in '62 so she doesn't recall the dances at the hall.
