John Steel (St. James BIZ): "We did this one in memory of St. James Hall. The second
floor of the building was where the hall was located. That hall existed for maybe 50
years! There's people I know in their seventies and eighties that remember going to the
St. James Hall Friday nights to dance. It was a public dance hall and it drew all sorts of
singles and young married couples that liked dancing. It was also a place for meetings;
there was active dances every week and the piano was there, and piano players; and you
went there and you danced and you had a good time!"
