About Beverly Hills
These past couple of days, the story of the Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire in Kentucky. Beverly Hills Supper Club was, as I have heard it called "The Showplace of the Nation". The club had been in business since the 1930s, and the ownership of the club at the time of the fire had been in place since at least the late '60s, and had been remodeled numerous times. On May 28, 1977, the club was hosting singer John Davidson and other entertainment for Memorial Day weekend. The fire claimed over 160 lives, and injured many more people. Many people who were in the fire filed Lawsuits against the club owners and other entities. In 2017, forty years after the fire, many still remember where they were and what they were doing. Currently, a memorial stands at the site of the club and people come to visit each year.
