According to Allan Myers, Larry Trapp has positively identified the Royal Blue Palace as being an illegal club in the Newport, KY area., this is what Larry said:
He (Larry) spoke to a retired Newport cop who remembered the Royal Blue Palace [RBP] being in the Southport Alley between Columbia & Central. The backyard connected to the Sportsman backyard, 330 Central, Newport. An Afro-American that Larry talked toalso confirmed these 2 black clubs. Both were owned by "Screw" Andrews.
When I found the Red RBP chips about two years ago they were in the same box as some previously unknown Lookout House (Newport) chips and I just knew that they had to be from Northern KY. Gene and Larry both said that they had never heard of the place and if they don't know, then the information is normally not available. I am very happy that another Newport club has been identified and I have both of the RBP chips available for $20 each postage included.
