Lindy’s
The building at 320 Cedar Ave. So. had some different iterations:
LINDY’S BAR AND LOUNGE
“Just across the bridge.” This dates back to at least November 1952, when you could dine and dance to the Collegians, as advertised in the Minnesota Daily. October 1953: “Winnie will sing your favorite tune – come in and sing.” But it must have changed owners, as it was billed as “Eddie’s Newest Nightmare” on March 11, 1954, with music by Jimarlen Trio of KSTP Channel 5. Fizz – Fun – Frivolity – Refreshments.
[There was another Lindy’s that became Augie’s].
NEW HOLLAND BAR
February 1963. Bill “Boss” Gordon and His LaBombas played Caribbean and Latin music: “Come see and learn the new dance craze – Limbo.”
