The Gaslight Tavern was located at 1241 Oread (as in 13th & Oread on The Hill), just off the University Of Kansas campus in Lawrence, Kansas, and was right next (west) to the Abington Book Shop (the "City Lights" of the midwest〔(John Fowler ) on James McCrary〕) that was owned by the beat poet, John E. Fowler (publisher of GRIST〔(GRIST On-line from GRIST )〕) and wife Sara.〔(John E. Fowler )〕 The Gaslight was a popular hangout for students and non-students alike over several decades, from the peaceful times of the Silent Generation to the more turbulent times of the Counter Culture.〔Monhollon, R.L. ()("This is America"" The Sixties in Lawrence, Kansas )〕 The Gaslight has been featured in poetry and fiction.〔(The Beat Generation in the Heartland )〕 During the era of Folk music, the Gaslight opened the stage to local artists.〔(Heritage of the Great Plains ), Kansas History website〕 Later, beat poet George Edward Kimball held 'court' at the Gaslight. 〔(George Kimball )〕 George was noted for running for Douglas County sheriff in 1970 and losing the race; however, Phillip Hill was voted in, and removed from his office, as justice of the peace.〔(November 3, 1970 - Yippie wins election for Justice of the Peace in Douglas County ) -- (2006) via Douglass County Law Library〕 KU student Nick Rice 〔KU History July 16, 1970 (A long weekend in a long hot summer )〕 was shot to death in front of the Gaslight 〔ktka dot com /news/2010/apr/21/1970-racial-unrest-sparked-deadly-violence/ 1970: Racial unrest sparked deadly violence - stale〕 by local police during an anti-war riot in Summer 1970. On the night of July 16, 1970, KU freshman, Rick "Tiger" Dowdell was shot in downtown Lawrence.〔 The building burned in the 70s, under suspicious conditions.〔(LJ World July 15 25 Years Ago )〕〔(LJ World 1970: Memories of violence in city still strong )〕〔kansan dot com /archives/2005/04/27/counterculture-at-ku/ _counterculture/ Counter culture at KU - stale〕〔mobile.ljworld dot com /news/1991/apr/18/hippie_tales/ Hippie Tales - stale〕 〔(Lawrence wants to have a say )〕 The original location of the Gaslight is now a parking area for the KU Student Union which was burned in the 1970 riots. In its heyday, the Gaslight, as a bar and grill, offered varieties of near beer and adequate hamburgers. Entertainment consisted of juke-box music, pin-ball machines, and a pool table (and conversation). Live entertainment was not a regular event. ==Gaslight Gardens== The Gaslight Gardens reopened on March 17, 2012〔(lawrence.com )〕 and uses a "European beer garden motif." Earlier, the establishment was known as Gaslight Tavern for several years,〔(Turn on the Gaslight ) (includes photos of the current and (the original Gaslights ))〕 operated in north Lawrence, Kansas as a bar and coffeehouse 〔(Gaslight Tavern )〕 and offered live entertainment on a regular basis. While the interior only offered a capacity of 39, there was an unusually large patio area. The Gaslight did not renew their lease for 2009 and was closed temporarily.〔kansan dot com /news/2008/sep/30/gaslights/?news Extinguishing the last flame - stale〕 It reopened on July 3, 2009 〔lawrence dot com /news/2009/jun/29/re-ignited/ Reignited - stale〕〔lawrence dot com /places/gaslight/ The Gaslight Tavern - stale〕 and closed, again on _ _, __. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gaslight Tavern」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
