Thank you, Mrs. Hall, for your Mystery Place column! I was happy to learn more about the location of the famous/infamous Darien slot machine raid of 1943! If you and your readers would like to know more details concerning that raid, I can shed more light on the subject based on various local newspaper articles that were written at that time. I'd love to read whatever anyone else is willing to share as well. Thank you!

donnaw, thank you for sharing your story. What a great way to grow up! Truly a slice of Americana! Your folks bought the supper club just 6 years after the slot machine raid. Did they, or any of your patrons, happen to be there on that night? If so, what did they tell you about it?
