| Owned and operated by Jo Bell Findlay. Beginning in 1975, Jo Bell owned and operated the "Stage Depot Card Room" (114-116 North Yosemite). She sold it in 1980, but bought it back in 1981, and renamed it "Jo Bell's", a three table card room. After a 1988 building fire, she briefly moved the card room to 146 South 3rd Street. In 1990, it moved a final time to 112 North Yosemite.
It was located next door to "Chris's Corall Card Room" (108 N. Yosemite). After "Jo Bell's" closed, the "Oakdale Card Room" (1995-1997) moved into its final address, then "Harold's Card Casino" (1997-2002), and finally "Mike's Card Casino (2002- present) (see "Became").
