The 20 Grand was torn down earlier this year I believe. Nothing there but a lot next to a church. There's a pic of the former site on this link with a few memories of folks who were there.

When I was little, relatives used to get dressed up and go to the 20 Grand all the time. I thought this place must be really special the way they talked about it.
