The “12th Street …” poem appeared in a Sept. But a curiousKC inquirer remembered enough about the drag’s last hurrah to ask us for a review of the “old 12th Street strip from the 1950s and 1960s.”Īnd that’s what led us to take this enlightening trip down memory lane, with a trove of historical material we sifted through at the Kansas City Public Library’s Missouri Valley Special Collections. The street, once famed for its burlesque houses and ties to the Pendergast clan, was drab by the 1970s. The eight-mile, east-west street runs between the West Bottoms and the eastern edge of the city near the Blue River.

But what would you say to the dark horse selection of 12th Street? Obvious candidates include Ward Parkway, The Paseo and Southwest Boulevard.

Touché is an upscale night club located in the heart of Johnson County. Club patrons come from all parts of the city and enjoy the surroundings, music, and the personal touch from the management. Patterned after a night spot in southern California, Touché was an instant hit. After a location and name change, the club was born. What started as a small neighborhood lounge in 1977 known as Brothers III evolved into one of the Kansas City area’s finest night clubs in 1997.
