It was a wonderful youth club back then, a great place for young people to hang out. There was never any trouble and it didn't have a bad reputation. In fact, to this day, I often refer to it as a shining example of what a youth club SHOULD be like, so I'm sorry to read in other posts that it ended up having a bad reputation. What went wrong?
