~ Rap Center Days ~
Shawnee, Oklahoma, USA
The Rap Center existed around 1971-74. The first location was at the NW corner of Independence & Kickapoo in a basement, and the second and final location was in a small building on West Franklin street near the Shawnee airport.
As far as I know, there are no records in existence of the facility other than a photo album with pictures of its annual event, A Day In The Park, some Christmas time snapshots and a publication that took place near its end, called Expressions of Madness.
Nearly every type of person crossed the doors of the Rap Center. Some to experience the atmosphere, some to engage in conversation, and some to listen to music or play games. Popcorn & soda pop were the menu.
Basically, the Rap Center was a place where someone could go when they didn't feel they had any other place to hang out.
