Comments: I've never been to hear the bands play at "Hole in the Wall", but if it is the one on Harry Hines (just south of LBJ), I've eaten lunch there. They have good hamburgers and fries. I think they might serve beer too.
Comments: Ada Ann, I've been to a lot of hole in the walls in my life, but not that one. When the Army started drafting the Mystics, Jimmy Vaughan played some gigs with us. What does your brother in law play? Has he ever played Adairs in Deep Elm?My oldest son played there two weeks ago. He is a school teacher in Austin and plays drums part time with some bands.
Comments: Toni - Yes, I think they were geckos. So far, Friday Feb 8 looks good to me.
Comments: Weren't those lizards from the State Fair simply geckos?
Comments: Yes, I can take off on a Friday....how's Feb. 8th? Maybe we can talk some others into going too...remember safety in numbers! Ronney, I remember the chicks. I also remember bringing my prize home from the State Fair and when I got home from school after Fair Day the chicks were history. My mother claimed to have taken them back but something tells me they walked right out the front door....especially since she didn't drive at all! Someone said something about hot donuts. I remember the donut place on Saner, near Rambo's where you could pull up at night, watch them make 'em and go in and buy them - red hot and delicious
Comments: Richard - Yes it can, mister. No lizard in my blouse, mascara, eye liner or lip balm. Jumping lizards!
Comments: I'm trying to read too fast getting caught up on the comments. I thought Linda P. said a lizard got lost in her blouse and she later found it all shriveled up....house & blouse in the same paragraph can be a problem when speed reading.
Comments: well congratulations to you Sandy Mc for not making it to the balcony. That is the difference of a person with honor or nailed of being ease (bad reputation McGee). Being a father of three girls the I would always have my 12 gauge in plain site for any misunderstanding of balconies, drive inns, flat tires or what nots. Basically the ones I used
Comments: Daughtery Drug Store! Free Sundae A & W ROOT BEER!!! FROSTED MUGS  ALLOWANCE! SPENDING PAYCHECK AND NOT PAYING BILLS!!!
Comments: Remember buying school supplies at Skillerns and then getting a free shake? Also, on Overton was the shopping center called Deer Path?
Comments: OH, my gosh, Ronney, wasn't Tommy good friends with David and Gary? I definitely remember him hanging with them. Buddy you were right, it was the balcony, not the back row. I never made it to the balcony. Congratulations to your brother.
Comments: I would get chicks at Easter -- one in particular was named Cootie and when he got grown, took him to my grandparents' farm in NE Texas. My grandmother told me that Cootie was quite a ladies man and would make the nests for his hens. After him, I did have Cootie II and he went to the farm also. I didn't have good luck with ducks. I remember buying the chickens at Moses; they were all different colors. I also remember getting lizards at Fair Park. They had a string tied around them with a pin on the end and I would tie the pin onto my blouse. Sometimes the lizard got loose in my house and we'd never find it or would find it all schriveled up.
Comments: OK, Linda, You, Toni and me. Toni can you take off one Friday? Your right about it being M.E.Moses. Linda in 2003 I rode the Dart with Leadership Southwest from the VA to the TXU building downtown. It was quite interesting, and a little sad. Someone said they lived on Marfa. My grandmother lived there in a duplex until I was grown. I think it was Don L. David and Gary Wayne Leverette lived on Hortense and my other grandparents lived a couple of streets up, of course I can't remember the name. Behind their house they raised chickens and parakeets. Always had a big beautiful garden. Ronney, I had so many chickens and ducks growing up, I couldn't even begin to put a number on 'em. The chickens always died but the duck grew big and we would take them to the pond at Restland.
Comments: Sandy Joe I hope you did ure bizzness in the balcony (crest). BTW i'm headed to Skeeter town Friday my brother (a surprise) Captain Jon Capps will be honored as Mesquits Fireman of the year at the firemans banquet. Not bad for sleeping on the job
Comments: Just the mention of the Crest theater brings back tons of memories. I went there from the time I was about 2 or 3 until we moved away. It was the first theater I went to without my parents. I went with my brother and Tommy Morales (Sr. 64) to see one of those atomic mutant monster movies. A large FAT woman (at least 350 to 400 pounds) came waddling down the aisle with her arms full of candy, popcorn, cokes, you name it. When she sat down, her chair split in two and she was sitting on the floor. We burst out laughing uncontrollably. We almost got thrown out. I was about 5 years old at the time. I did get in trouble there when I was about 6 or 7...at the Saturday kids' matinee. The movie was bad and everyone was bored. I got on the stage and started dancing and acting silly. We were all throwing cokes and other refreshments at the screen. I got hauled into the manager's office with the threat that the police would be called if I ever did that again. I was a delinquent at an early age.  |
.....and the root beer floats in the frosty mugs at Weber's Root Beer Stand....just down the street from Chester Clinic. I just rebooted.....
