Thursday again already Fixers? Time to dive into history!
This week I’m bringing you something a little closer to my own hometown; the Cavern Nite Club that ran in Bowling Green from the 1930s thru the 1960s. What’s so special about dance hall, you ask? It was air conditioned. Sweet, precious cold air was continuously pumped into the building year round…because it was built in a cave mouth. In a time when central air was a distant dream, this gimmick pulled in people from around the state.
Some kids enjoy a break from the dancing.
Sorry for the poor photo quality but my Photoshop skills at turning tiny images into impressive images is extremely limited.
The really cool thing here though is the strange coincidence of this club opening the same year Prohibition was repealed; no mean feat considering the 21st Amendment didn’t get singed into law until December 5th. So either Cavern Nite Club had the fastest construction crew in the country, or more likely, they just finally publicized their establishment.
Speakeasys were pandemic during Prohibition and a cave that sits 50 feet down, is covered by heavy brush and is only accessible by a rickety set of steps would be a prime location. Couple that with the local town being known as Little Chicago at the time(yes I know, pretty much every small town east of the Mississippi held that title at one point) and it seems the owners took the opportunity to make more money and jumped on it. Below is a photo of the cave as it as been restored today; the original steps to the cave floor can still be seen in the background.

Now turn around, I know I can figure out that one from the back…
I don’t need your help, pity… or directions…”
