They also had a place over at the Hillbilly Inn for awhile and then after this past winter season did not re-open there. From what I understand they have a place off the 76 strip across from Taco Bell (near the Walmart/Shoney's on 76). I have not been by there to confirm..
They did, but it is this location that is no longer there. My understanding was that last year they moved to the strip mall across from Taco Bell and that is where we visited them in November. We went by there a few weeks ago and they are completely gone. :'(

Dick Clark has personally suffered great health problems in the last few years. A stroke left him with impaired speech. Ryan Seacrest is doing the Rockin' New Years Eve stuff, for the most part in the last two years. The classic car collection pulled out of Dick Clark's place in Branson a summer or two ago. The oldies acts that played Clark's Theater the first year or two are gone, or have drifted over to other Branson theaters. Google Dick Clark and you will see over the years he has had several business interests. I think with his health and the declining economy he has had to greatly scale back.

Junior,

Thanks for the information. I guess the economy has hit everyone hard. Any idea on Chester's or were they a casualty of the economy too? I thought they had been around for awhile.

Does anyone know what happened to Chester's or Dick Clark's American Bandstand Grill? Came down last year in November and everything was going great. Came down in this month and everything is closed and gone.
