never heard of this venture. The West Broadway area has been extensively re-developed with swanky high-rise buildings and residences. Well, the concierge wouldn't let the likes of me into a building a block away to serve a Summons and Complaint! 636 West appears to no longer exist but would be 3 blocks west of the Superior Courthouse and next to the electric trolley line. Or, the trolley now runs directly through that lot. "I'll see your hand, pardner..." "and raise ya" . .. "Awww skip it, train wins again."

Possibly the Davis Cigar cardroom was known by a different name or rented to someone who used his own chips, whatever they might have been, but I'm telling you, the card games had to be quick.
