I got Fats Domino's FBI file, and it consisted of a single page, which was a document titled "Subject: Martin Luther King" and just listed New Orleans reports on Domino's three Cadillacs foiathedead.org/posts/fats-dom

I looked up the preceding document in MLK's FBI fileβ€”the 17k page one, not the 200 page one the FBI positions as the full thing in its "FOIA vault"β€”and found that agents had staked out a hotel in Philadelphia looking for MLK, and saw Mr. Domino's car and mistakenly drew a connection.

The hotel the two men each stayed at, the Franklin Motor Inn, was knocked down some time in the 2010s and was replaced with a Whole Foods, but used to be quite a place. Philadelphia Mag did a nice story about its last days as a Best Western bar phillymag.com/news/2013/02/06/

It's also the site of a good Google Maps glitch: it mapped mid-demolition photographs onto a pre-demolition building shape and labeled it with post-demolition business names
