Kansas Nightclub

"An American classic, this romantic comedy by award-winning playwright William Inge inspired a 1956 film starring Marilyn Monroe. When a raging March snowstorm blows into a Kansas town, eight unlikely strangers become stranded overnight in a bus stop diner. There’s the town sheriff who tries to help a young nightclub singer escape from a headstrong cowboy who, with the help of a ranch hand, wants to force her into marriage; the café owner and the bus driver who finally find time to develop their friendship into something more; and the middle-age former college professor who courts the naïve girl who works at the café. Over the course of the night, they realize that each has something to learn about life, love and — most of all, themselves."

The Granada opened in 1928 as a vaudeville theater, and through the 1930s, it attracted huge crowds of students and townies for raffles and shows.

The Granada rebranded itself as a nightclub in 1993 and today is a main concert destination in Lawrence, hosting big names, such as Weezer, Ben Folds, The Flaming Lips and Tech N9ne.

I took these photos for a Community Journalism class, where I focused on the East Lawrence neighborhood. See a map of the neighborhood here: maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&m…
