Steve Smith posted this photograph, with the brief caption “Taken at Belvedere Billiards in 1957”

 

 

Just a “bit” of detail that helped lead to a few more clues in America’s story of the Bingos`

 

It seems that “Benny’s” was an incredibly popular hangout on East Lombard Street in Baltimore`

A tale of Benjamin Kitt who ran a “second home” for a few folks during the 1950s`

 

A place so poplaur with the “local boys” that mothers knew to call there to find their sons, smile`

 

 

…and even better, this got Phil B. to start thinking about Balimore and that helped identify another photo`
