Oh and Lucky WTF you go from "Where is it so I can stay away." To "Hey where is the place at so I`ll know how to get there?"
Its in Kellysville near the old Sourthen X.I am so glad Kellysville has set it`s standards so high.Three people have already died there so go on down.The place is the size of a shoe box and is filled with white trash.I love how the trash around here is so desperate to go to a bar.They will go to any dump.So save your time,money,and life and don`t go.Stay in your tralier parks with you stack of burning tires,pit-bulls,and moonshine.

Greetings,
I appreciate your candor. However, I am not familiar with some of the jargon you used in your last communique, so I am certain a bit of the message you were trying to convey was lost in translation. Would you be so kind as to explain a couple of words? For wxample, what do the letters WTF mean? Is it an acronym for something? Also, what is the origin of the phrase "old Sourthen X"? I do not find that in my dictionary. Is that a local slang? And, please tell me who told you we burn the old tires in our trailor park? We do ho such thing. We paint them white and plant flowers in them.
Kind Regards.

Thanks, Dad,
I've seen flyers hanging up around town advertising the place but they don't provide nay directions or give any idea where it's located. I heard they have some good bands on hand for the weekends. I'll check it out now that I know how to get there. Do you come up from Dallas often to enjoy the local clubs?
In my younger days my wife and I made several trips to Bluefield from Fort Hood Texas. One morning I remember quite well as we were driving up into Dallas on Rt35 I think it was. December, cold, crisp morning, frost on everything, the sun was rising and reflecting off the glass of the tall buildings downtown. It was beautiful sight. The glow over the city reminded me of Oz when Dorothy, the Tin Man, and their buddies got to the end of the yellow brick road. It was lovely. man. Maybe we'll see you there, Shakers, sometime. I'll buy the first beer. Thanks again.

[Lucky]

Sounds good. I'll check it out.

In my younger days I hung out at the Sunset Lounge that was located right off of Rte. 460 at Willowton Exit. I guess the sun set on that place a long time ago.

Friday sounds good.

I found it as I drove back from Roanoke this week. From the outside it looks like a really good place to put a club. Should be lots of room and good acoustics. I like he sign. Someone did a fabulous job on it.
There is another very large building west of Shakers that could be put to good use. The big white building, that I seem to remember was used by Ballards Sausage and I think was also once a hatchet handle factory, would make a great concert hall for musical perfomances. Bluegrass, rock, gospel. Tha building is big enough to make an auditorium and there is land enough around it to make parking areas. Some of those other vacant buildings in the Kelleysville area could be made into new businesses as well. If someone with money could acquire some of that property and snatch up some of that other run down residential property down there, I believe it would be a good location for a mall or campground facility for out-of-towners, kind of like what is set up along the New River in Narrows. Markets and service stations would com back to that area. Kelleysville is in a unique location that has a lot of economic potential.

They have a very strict dress code and tough rules for behavior. It's real good to keep riff raff and other undesireables out so you can feel pretty comfortable in there. I think there may have been some rumors started by conservatives in the area and some of the low-lifes in some the surrounding areas but that's all they are, just rumors. The establishment tries to keep a clean place. Check it out sometime soon. It's nice to see independent-minded entrepeneurs start their own successful business, and pay taxes. It's the American way.

Me neither well he at least drove by.The white building use to be a slaughter house.Yeah that would make a great music hall LOL!

Come on you guys, thinking that it would be great place for a mall or new businesses, get real "its a flood zone" and if Fema had enough money to buy everyone out it would be a little ghost town.
