What you don't know is that you actually DID keep journals and I have them. Oh yes, I have them. Best not run for senator unless you know how to keep your Thaddeus's close.

Thaddeus...you'll always be close.

Indeed T, indeed.

Keep your Thads close and you Thaddeuses closer. That's what I always say.

Words to live by.

Nice! That's something I might have to add.... you have any links/info.?

Pretty sure it was repainted about 10 years ago or so. I seem to remember it looking different when I was younger. And I'm not sure you could call anything with the Enterprise from star trek on it 'psychadelic'.

Sorry I was an early to mid-70's guy. Martin's for margaritas. The Old Church was a popular bar for SMU types back then. Campisi's for Pizza along with the Pizza Inn (with its always welcome buy one get one free coupons). Cardinal Puff's, Bowley and Wilson's Alley and of course the Stables. Greenville Avenue had some bars south of Mockingbird that were troublesome.

Oh, yeah, I know that wall very well... I didn't check your links last night, and for some reason I thought you were referring to something that no longer existed.

Still... something sleazy... and old Jack Ruby night club, or even a strip club.

I'm trying to paint the picture of mid-twenties business travelers.

Thanks Eaststang for a couple names of places I can look into.

I think Pink Floyd had something to do with The Wall during that time period.
