Glass Onion

[ca4niagrl]

Does anyone remember the Glass Onion? It was a place for teens to hang out and dance and was located on Blackstone..not sure exactly where...somwhere between Shields and Olive I think. I went there in 1975 or 1976 and was only about 15 so it must have been an under 21 club.

Glass Onion was between Blackstone and the Friant Curve. At one time it was a Christian Nightclub. (maybe 1976?)

No, that wasn't the Glass Onion. That was the Agape Club. The Glass Onion was on Blackstone somewhere between Gettysburg and Olive on the west side of the street.

The Glass Onion was a dance place for under 21's. It was on the West side of Blackstone between Olive and Belmont in the old BoA Bremer Branch building...It is still there, if you get off off Hiway 180 westbound on the Abby Street exit as the exit curves north and then east, it is just north of the feeeway exit ramp...Last I remember it was a U Haul rental place..

Yes!! That's where it was. I knew the general vicinity but I couldn't remember how far south on Blackstone it was located. Thank you for the clarification.

Glass Onion was on Blackstone, north of Belmont. I believe there is a U-Haul business in the building as of this posting. I was 16-years old when I met a beautiful, wild and free love and life-long friend in that club.

Can’t believe I found information on the Glass Onion. I was just reminiscing and trying to remember what year it was there. It was short-lived but a fun place to dance for a 16 year old!
