Misc Turning to the Great CP hive mind

OK, I've got an opportunity to do a pulp story set in Kansas City in the 1950s. Yes, I am going to do my own research, but any of you could point me in the right direction for things like big jazz clubs, jazz musicians, crime bosses, other city landmarks that were around in the 50s, etc., it would probably save me a whole lot of time tracking down stuff I might not need.

Besides, I need characters for the book. Let's just say, people who give me actually useful information might get a walk-on in the book.

And look, just because Skip's not around doesn't mean some of you either know of or know someone who might be able to help out here.

Thanks in advance.

(This will be the second story I'm doing with these characters. If interested in the current incarnation, you can check it out here
