Neal Cassady's father's barber shop- Curtis Park, Denver, Colorado.
Cassady grew up in the now demolished Snowden apartment house across the street. Kerouac was so impressed with Cassady's hometown he moved there himself for a spell in the late 1940's. It's not hard to imagine the two friends attending late night Charlie Parker jams at the Rossonian Club with a couple of hot gals then stopping off at the Colburn Hotel for night caps.
