Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Gillys



What do you mean Eddie when you said you don't wear cowboy boots and a hat. I use to hang out in a country bar a few years back. Half the guys in the place wore the boots and the hats and 90% of them said they were from Texas. You think they were lying to me.  Actually I spent a week in Dallas a while back and on any given day or night I see more cowboy hats in downtown Louisville than I did in Dallas.

Gilley's would be missed simply because it is a institution. People wanted to 'experience' it due to the movie and what they heard. Many figured this is how Texans live, which is bullshit. It might have been rough and tumble blue collr work all day, drink & fight all night in 1982, but that was a quarter centry+ ago.
 
I'm sure everyone knows another institution here just closed it's doors. Astroworld. Seems the land was worth more than the Six Flags theme park. So Astroworld, along with such legends as Texas Cyclone, and XLR8, is nothing exvept flat land there now south of Reliant stadium. They sold it for $77 million, and new development like townhoumes, comdos, bars & restaruans will be going in there as it is right next to the rail line into downtown.
 
And most of ya'll know the 8th wonder of the world, Astroworld, has been quietly shuttered for years. Was great to see it come to life after Katrina when 20,000-40,000 refugees flooded it looking for shelter. Sure wished we would legalize gambling here and turn it into a casino......
