In a building that was a former railroad worker's hotel, Duffy's was a punk rock club in the early 80's near this intersection. It had an outdoor volleyball court, basketball hoops, and decks for with outdoor seating. The stage was inside under a domed ceiling.
In 1983/84, Duffy's was converted into a new wave disco called Norma Jean's (with a Marilyn Monroe theme), and scaled back on booking bands.
On November 3, 1997, the building was demolished. View a vintage picture of Duffy's here.
