White Rabbit, I would probably tell you that you fibbin if you said you didn't go there in late 1970s. Across street was The Carousel Club, but the Rabbit was THE disco place. Located at Six Points but facing south on Staples, Thursday thru Sundays the area was madhouse.

Hard to find parking, and many times a line to get in. Lucky for me I had several sparkly polyester shirts from K-Mart out on SPID, several pairs of flaired bellbottoms, and sometimes would wear my 3 inch KISS boots with flat fronts. Was stylin bro. So I could walk past the line (providing could walk with those shoes on) doormen always let me in. Spent a lot of money I was probably only person there not doing drugs either. Well, not in club...it was easy to lose several pounds nightly dancing. At the time, I lived off Kostoryz, then Weber, so a little bit of drive but well worth it. I must have spent thousands of dollars at this place, surprised they not still around as much dinero I blew there. Would buy drinks for ladies, and if not taken, sit with them, dance with them, then go home. Music was loud, pulsating, and the light show inside, while not ANYTHING like today's LED and laser standards, was hypnotic! I really can't believe I was a disco duck, hope my kids don't read this.

A lot of fun, and walking from White Rabbit to Carosel across Staples was game of Frogger, better watch it. In 1978, I had got off work at brand new Pizza Hut just up road at Baldwin & Staples, was FIRST CREW there, and was heading home in my 1970 AMC Javelin & drunk lady Elda Gonzalez pulled out in front of me & wife Cindy Sullivan, who was pregnant, broadsided the Pontiac Ventura, and smashed my Javelin all up, all four of us went to Spohn a mile away, Elda had a passenger kocked around in car.

The White Rabbit I grew out of about 1978 too. No more disco even though my trunk had some 8 tracks like Leo Sayer, Saturday Night Fever, K C Sunshine Band tapes. I can't tell you year it finally shut down, that place had more drugs in it that Walgreens around corner though ha ha. Dance for days all the way to Seattle.

The Carosel Club might have lasted longer as remember it on cruise nights, as we went up and down Ayers endless Friday & Saturda night, unless you had a date and wanted to make out, then go to Cole Park, lose your friends in car, or wanted more privacy, go way down to Swanter Park & fog up windows while listening to Gary Wright Dream Weaver tape. Was all good.

Oh at one time, the White Rabbit was a Biel's grocery store for you old timers.

Photo #2. Polyester shirts super popular then, and reflected a lotu of light fron the rafters, mine were all city scenes and well, car stuff as am car guy. You could take your shirt to bathroom, squeeze the sweat out of it, that is how much people sweated in this place.

Photo #3. A couple showing off some dance moves at white Rabbit, note neon above man's head. If was a popular song, and there were a LOT of popular songs, the dance floor would fill up really quick, even would see people literally running to get on floor.
