Show Biz Restaurant & Club At 2410 Holcombe Blvd.

[Highrise Tower]

I found an image of Holcombe & Main in the early 1960s and noticed a restaurant on the corner of Holcolmbe that caught my eye. From what I can see, it's called Show Biz Restaurant.

I've never even heard of this place! How can it be so elusive to the public? Anyone have any memories of this place?

From the magazine Billboard dated April 6, 1963:

Found the address! It wasn't exactly Holcombe & Main. It was by the present-day Levit Green campus and TMC Innovation Factory!
