Christophers

Oakland Park Blvd. and ICW Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Christopher's could easily lay claim to being the FIRST DISCO of any kind on Planet Earth--I kid you not. I remember reading about this place in my dad's Playboy mags. Yes I did read it for the articles. I was trying to develop a sense of "worldly sophistication" or something like that.;^D Playboy covered the social phenomenon that was the DISCO-ERA with gusto. It was their heyday too.

The discotheque, Christophers, opened right around the same time as STUDIO 54. If the original owners are still alive-I'm sure they have some great stories to tell. Have not been in the club since the mid 1990s. I remember it as a place that played classic disco for the "SWINGERS" crowd. IT WAS NOT A SWINGERS CLUB. Rather it was a place where that crowd felt comfortable hooking up. Freakishly enough... Christophers is still open! Sitting there like some creature that survived a mass extinction event.

An argument can be made for landmarking the joint on the National Register of Historic Places. All the clubs that have come and gone and there sits CHRISTOPHERS.
