When I first got here in this early part of this decade, Uptown was the place to be for nightlife mating options. This is really cool! In the time that I've been in Dallas, Lower Greenville has basically been a 2nd rate grungy kind of scene. Yep, that's my old stomping grounds from my misspent youth. What was the name of the nightclub right along there where Karen Bella played all the time? Was that the same place where Bowley and Wilson ended up a little later, or were they two different places? Wasn't Milo Butterfingers in that strip too? I guess about the only businesses remaining from those days are the Parkit Markit down at University, and Desperados'. Chicken down the street with the two Cadillacs with chicken heads and tails? How about the Kriz Bar (less said, the better)? Chief's Lock Shop. Those were the days before everything was so corporate and cleaned-up. I darn near lost my small car in some holes a couple times in between refillings with oyster shells. But Vehon's provided the shells for all the parking lots in that strip - so the owners NEVER did any paving repairs, just put more shells down. I worked down the street for a while and occasionally we would run out of change and have to get some from other businesses on the strip. If anyone remembers Bill, you know what a funny,(unknowingly), duck he was. Bill Vehon owned an oyster, bar/nightclub, on Greenville Ave, in Dallas, back in the 60's.
