Castaways South

2nd Street, opened around late 1970 or early 1971 when the earlier Castaways bar relocated from 424 W. McKinley. It advertised one of the largest dance floors in the Midwest and drew a mostly male crowd while welcoming women. With no advertisements appearing after November 1971, the bar is believed to have closed by the end of that year. The space was later occupied by other taverns, including the New Seaway and, beginning in 1974, the long-running Ball Game.
