PHYLLIS'S MUSICAL INN: FADED DREAMS ON DIVISION STREET






On the corner of Division and Hermitage you'll find Phyllis's Musical Inn, owned by Clement Jaskot. I wrote about this place, the now gone Bop Shop, and the now hipster Rainbo Room for PENTHOUSE in a Nightlife article "Faded Dreams on Division Street". I made $1,000 for my novel, THE HOLY TERROR. That same year, I made $2,500 for "Faded Dreams". A buck a word.

The Czar Bar was another Polish joint that I didn't include in my article, the Bop Shop I'll get to in a few days, but Phyllis's is still going strong.

You know, I think I may have read that copy of Penthouse letters.
