In the Memory of Jack Goode
Jack Goode's brother and the owner of the Uptown Cafe, is keeping his memories alive by the changing the name to, "Jackie B. Goode's Uptown Cafe and Dinner Theater" in his honor.
Having live entertainment on a stage inside the cafe reminds of the fact that before joining the US Armed Forces, Jack Goode was a musician and songwriter.
