I recall going up from Harlingen to visit a Lady attending Tex A&I.
You had to drive into the next county to buy booze.
Just across the line There was a junky looking building with dozens of cars going-coming.
Holster?
This rig sold for over $1K!
Sweet memory. I remember I got a 12 hour pass after 4 weeks
basic training at Lackland. That was mid-April 1952. I had just
turned 17 in February 1952. Went in to a pretty decent restaurant
in San Antonio. Had a big steak and a bottle of Lone
Star. I remember clearly the long neck had a rearing horse on
the label. They said it was the only beer with a picture of the
brewery on the label. I hope you don't tell me that county was
dry too. My point is maybe Texas was not too strict with their enforcement.
