It was elementary my friend...Public Records....On city records that provide a "detailed inquiry" on voters, they got Smokin' Joe's birthdate right, Jan. 12, 1944. In a touch of nostalgia, the records also list Frazier's address as 2917 N. Broad Street. That's the location of the old Smokin' Joe's Gym, the three-story converted brick warehouse where, in the 1970s, Frazier trained for all of three of his championship fights against Muhammed Ali, while living in an apartment on the third floor.
