I grew up in East Oakland, an in the early eighties I started going to Harlem every year for two weeks to hang out with an Air Force buddy of mine, Lofton. He lived on 125th and Lenox avenue across street from Harlem Hospital, we walked pass Dapper Dan’s place every day the two weeks in the summer I visited for five years and I always asked, “What goes on in there”. My friend would only say, “We can’t afford to find out, because everyone coming out of there is Fly as a MF”. I finally found out with Dapper Dan’s memories of his life and the store I never got to see.
