In 1978 new owners, including a Lambda Sigma Deltan, opened the building at 14th and Peachtree as “For Heads Only”, a hair stylist for males and females. They also mixed and sold a line of hair care products. A back stairway was shut off to create a secret room behind a wall, with attached table and vase as disguise, that was a door.
The first outdoor skating rental for Piedmont Park, Skate Escape, was in a back room. A clothes designer also had a store.
The basement remained The Catacombs, a hush-hush after-after-hours club on weekends and after major concerts. Other nights it was rented and the swinging bed might be the center of an orgy room. Or The Fupped Ducks or someone else might have rented it for a party.
In a strange historic note the last band to take the stage at the Catacombs was The Red Spacenecks consisting of Fred Holloway, Steve MacMahon, Richard West and Patrick Edmondson. They played their sons such as “Hitched my Saddle to a UFO”, “The Doubleknit Life” and “If the creeks don’t rise”
The FIRST skate rental shop was EVERYBODY SKATES at 123 14th Street. It was in the same building as For Heads Only.
