I remember coming to Geneva on the Lake in the late 60’s and the #1 bar to go to was The Castaway on 534. Also the Circus Circus, & the Electric Zoo. The entrance to the Castaway was a huge contiki statue with gas flames coming out of its eyes! You entered through its mouth. Many fun weekends spent here.
