Forty years and eight owners later, in 1984 Chuck Herman and Richard Orofino changed the name from OBI East and opened under the name of CPI. The new format included the installation of a "mini-museum," reflecting the history of the Inn and displaying photographs and memorabilia of its bygone days. Herman and Orofino made an effort "to have the club offer something to everyone, giving people who came here a number of different things to do, to encourage them to stay during the evening," Chuck Herman said.

"One of the first things we did when we bought the place in 1984 was to set up the museum; we wanted our customers to get to know CPI's history," Herman said. |
