Coconut Grove
Near 6th Street
Minneapolis
Yes, Minneapolis had its own Coconut Grove! Near 6th Street over Brady’s, later Schinder’s, newsstand. It had a 14-piece orchestra and a chorus line of eight girls. “Walk up a flight and save a dollar.” In the 1930s it was frequented by gangsters and featured the music of Norvy Mulligan’s 12-piece band.
