What Remained After Tia Juana's Closure

What Remained After Tia Juana's Closure
This photo was taken by the City of Cleveland shortly after Cafe Tia Juana was permanently closed in 1969.
In her last years of operation, the club experienced extensive financial and legal troubles. Between 1955 and 1967, the club shut down temporarily and reopened under new management or ownership at least four times. The club became exclusively associated with poor management, gambling escapades, and violence through a series of stabbings and a shooting, leading to one fatality. | Creator: Warner Thomas, Photographer City of Cleveland | Date: July 30, 1969 | Source: Cleveland Public Library Photograph Collection
