Indiana Avenue was traditionally the host to some of Americas premier, world-renown entertainment icons in various genres. Along this winding, brightly lit thoroughfare were nightclubs, lounges, supper clubs, taverns, juke joints, and holes-in-the-wall that celebrated the best of the best in entertainment that America had to offer, from the 1920s on into the 1970s. On the bandstand at Denver Fergusons Sunset Terrace Ballroom, the elegantly attired crooner Nat King Cole, in a sparkling blue silk suit, delivered his signature song 'Mona Lisa.' Nearby, B.B. King sang his 1973 down-home blues classic 'To Know You is to Love You.' At Tuffy Mitchells Pink Poodle nightclub, 'Moms' Mabley made the audience roar with laughter during her sidesplitting comedy routine. Indiana Avenue truly was the place to be for the best in entertainment.
