If they are still going strong today, like Javiers, St Martins and Campisis, do they not count?
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

Mother blues in mid 70s. Beggars, Bachelors and Bellringer clubs at European crossroads. Texas jam. Mid 80s, 'Cafe Dallas'. Papagayo, Stark club, Sans souci swingers club in late 80s.....As the 'lays' dwindle down to a precious few, a man still has his memories. Mostly. Drinking age was 18 back then. It darn sure was. The year I turned 21 they changed the drinking age to 21. Man, that was close. Dodged a bullet there.

So nobody's gonna fess up to patronizing the sex shops on s.Industrial blvd during the late 70's? Well I guess I wont either then. Knew guy that got me into the Busy Bee when 17, I was an AC/refrigeration guy. Made a lot of money fixing broke stuff.
If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

But, made many a trip up and down 121 and 289. Always high roller cars in front.

Cruising Forest Lane in the 80's and then later in the night heading to Emerald Street for the street races We cruised Forest in the early 70s. I will never forget my brother and his buddies stopping at the grocery to buy turkey necks. I will let you guess what they used them for. I remember driving central at 70 mph at any time of day.

Dewey Grooms Longhorn Ballroom The original Adair’s on Cedar Springs Mother Blues Bowley and Wilsons Up Your Alley Cardinal Puffs Jamie’s Hamburgers Cotton Bowling Palace Goldfinger The Old Church Chelsea Corner San Francisco Rose Mothers Blues was a classic along with Bronco Bowl and Circle Bowl. I remember dad taking us to Bronco Bowl to shoot our Fred Bear recurves. There were other bars in Dallas that we hung out in but don't remember names. One was in Medallion Center. In the early 80s I stuck close to home. There were 2 bars side by side in Richardson off Arapahoe that were my hang outs. I knew the owners and bartenders at both. Back then if we wanted licgour we had to drive to Centennial on Walnut Hill.

Burma shave roadside signs. Loved them. "While driving down a dusty road" " whilst strapping down a heavy load" " I pray my soul for God to keep" " and hope like hell I don't fall asleep" " at the end of my run a lass awaits" " and she's carrying a pair of 38s". Burma shave. - Me

Did anybody on here ever make it into the Playboy club? I remember seeing the bunny sign on central expressway, and once I learned what it was I swore I would go there. Unfortunately it closed too soon for me to make it

Unfortunately it closed too soon for me to make it I just cleaned out and shredded a bunch of old papers and BS I've had for years One of the things that I tossed was several VIP courtesy cards I got from who knows where. Playboy club, Penthouse club ( I don't remember that, but I had the card, so . . .) several other places. Probably one of the vendors from the good old days when business lunch meant the male sales rep taking you to the nudie bar for canned pork chops

Thinking of all that, does anyone remember what automotive vendors had all the attractive female reps that came to visit dressed in the mini skirts and tight tight low cut silk tops and the high heeled boots? Getting old now, and I can't remember what company it was
