Stories[edit]

Let's hear some short stories. One of mine: 50 years ago, this month. I lived in a 2nd-floor room, north side, of the house across the street (Oread). My window led to the porch roof. On a good spring day, some would drag the Gaslight juke box outside and play songs, like Louie Louie, Wooly Bully, and a whole lot more. ... In short, we had Be ins in Kansas before S.F. Started to work there later that year (August). jmswtlk (talk) 23:06, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Original vs follow ons[edit]

I'm hoping that someone will fill in the info on the new Gaslight keeping within the Wikipedia NPOV, etc. guidelines. I'm trying to fill in the pieces for the 'older' Gaslight (lived across the street from it in a house on Oread and worked there - yet, will keep the NPOV, etc.). The History section could be several subsections. jmswtlk 21:01, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The current establishment has closed several times and seems to have a new name, Gaslight Gardens. So, that suggests that the article will focus on the tavern that stood for many years right off the KU Campus on Oread in Lawrence, KS. jmswtlk (talk) 23:59, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
