Chubby Checker first did the Twist in public on a stage here in the summer of 1960 and the dance went round the world. The town froze at exactly that moment, block after block of plastic-and-neon motels with names like the Caribbean and the Satellite, boomerang signs and kidney pools, now the largest concentration of 1950s roadside architecture anywhere, protected as the Doo-Wop district.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
