Hall & Oates Had First Show Here

Hall and Oates, then called Whole Oates, had their first public performance here on 12/5/70. It is pretty well documented on the Web. What I could not find was the exact address for Hecate's Circle, a coffee house located on premises that may have housed various coffee houses over time, including Buck Dancer's Choice and People's Choice. Anyone with better information, please comment below. I see that one of my favorite bands of the late 70s, Johnny's Dance Band, played here as well. [Ed. - address originally stated as Chelten and Germantown Aves., revised in light of comment below. Thank you. (9/25/15)] [Found the exact address, 168 E. Chelten, in a blurb about the change of Hecate's Circle to Buck Dancer's Choice, at https://www.newspapers.com/image/184956518/?terms=hecate%27s%2Bcircle%2Bchelten. (2/23/17)]
