Before Matt Dishman ever housed a swimming pool, it was a community boxing and weightlifting hub as well as a spot for teenagers to rehearse with their bands and dance to disco. J.W. Friday recounts the formation of the Cavaliers Unlimited, whose first show was here, while Calvin Walker realizes how lucky he was to be able to play the drums in his family's living room. Years later, J.W. and Joe "Bean" Keller team up to throw shows and dance contests in nearby parks.
