Your favorite organist is little Jackson Hendrix, all grown up.


I have mentioned the Ridge Road Gardens before, in connection with an incident in 1921. This ad gives us a more precise location — Ridge Road at Missouri Street. So the Ridge Road Gardens' former location is under the I-65 interchange, possibly in the vicinity of where the notorious Berghoff road house once was. If I had time, I'd go check the 1950s directories at the museum, in case an actual street address was ever listed. My 1962 directory doesn't list the Ridge Road Gardens at all.
