The Coffeehouse, 1968

ID: 6046 | This file appears in: University Circle
The Coffeehouse, a popular 1960s hangout at Euclid Avenue and East 115th Street, hosted blues bands and poetry readings by d. a. levy and other poets. The Coffeehouse and other music venues such as Adele's Lounge (immediately to its east), La Cave, and the Jazz Temple, flung college students into contact with people from all around the city. Concerns ranging from rowdiness to interracial dating to racially motivated bombings combined with an general anti-urban bent to make institutional leaders seek redevelopment along decidedly suburban lines. Today the Coffeehouse is a parking lot in the shadow of "Uptown," a stainless-steel-faced, multistory, mixed-use complex.
