Please bring out your flyers, pictures, menus, music schedules of any event or place on the strip from the 1980s,1990s, 2000s - if I can scan it on a flatbed scanner, bring it- to add to the website and digital collections!

We'll be trying something different for this upcoming meetup; live music and (optional) audience participation.
We've received a lot of response from people about how they met their long-time partner on the strip, or yes, even got married on the strip! This event was inspired by you all.
Come out to Jandro's Patio Garden on February 1st to share your story. We'll have stationary to write on. ❤️
However, we know there is also a lot of things not to like some much about the strip. A recent night comes to mind. We'll have heart and broken-heart cutouts to share what everyone loves, or loves to hate about the strip.
Live music by Snowbyrd, Kitten Mitten, and Pleasure Delay. All with members will long St. Mary's Strip roots.
