Beverly Hills Country Club: Images of America, Arcadia Publishing

Pop Culture Road Trip host, Chris Epting, interviews writer and historian Allen J. Singer about his new book, "Beverly Hills Country Club." In 1977, at the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, Kentucky, 165 people died in a tragic fire. Covered by news outlets across the country, many still associate tragedy with this popular entertainment destination. The club's legacy, however, stretches back to the 1950s, when it was known as the Beverly Hills Country Club. Folks from across the nation came here to see the best shows in town and to gamble in the casino. Considered the finest nightclub in the Cincinnati area, it showcased lavish entertainment at a time when television and rock and roll were still in their infancy.
