Can't even imagine what Golden Gate and Drummers Inn are like after dark. Drive around during the day and there is all kind of nonsense and trash walking up and down the streets. My favorites are the broke down tweaking strippers trudging to/from the no tell motels and the low end strip clubs that dot the neighborhood. 
I will have much more to say about the state of West Camp Bowie tomorrow.

  • Ugh. When I first moved here in 2010 they used to have an old Expedition that neighbors would volunteer to drive around the neighborhood all weekend with a "SECURITY" sticker on it. Fucking stupid.

I’ve mentioned this before, but the Bucket is a fucking great place to watch a game for cheap. Never crowded, shitload of TVs, Cajun peanuts.

Curtis and Homer are the two butchers I trust most at CM. Curtis has been pimping the NY strips and prime ribeyes lately.  They've been really good these past couple of weeks. 


I’m a big fan of CM but the last 2 times I bought a prime NY strip there, they were both horrible. The meat was incredibly tough to the point of being inedible and I threw both away. Very disappointing and I don’t know if I coincidentally had bad luck twice, or if there’s something wrong with their supplier. I’m a bit spooked about buying another steak from them anytime soon.

One of the rooms at the GG way back then had a full-size drawing of a naked guy on the inside of the door. Never really wanted to get that room. 

 

What was was the second murder? 

found a dude wrapped up in plastic a couple days ago at Crest Motel next door right?

Sounds like that was the same one. 

 

Either way, let’s party at the Golden Gate! You only live once.

And this is the high-class joint we used to rent a room from way back in the day when we needed a place to do illegal shit. 

 

Ah, yes.  Golden Gate and Drummer's Inn were excellent choices if you were partaking of substances illegal.  And back in the 80's, most of the dancers at Sinbad's and Brass Rail were regulars at those locations after work.

We gonna have to do a HH in the Golden Gate parking lot. Fear won’t go though, he’ll be scared. 

Jackknifed truck with a huge concrete bridge support at W7th and Henderson according to Twitter. What a mess. (Pics from Twitter)7ff3ef869697bc193175aa024b88f103.jpg9aca078e7a5a2cf7b973e30085742542.jpg

What’s with the two buses? 

That is probably the #2 camp bowie bus-it is a single bus but looks like two because it is connected.  I bet they are trying to turn around.

If you ever find yourself on 377 in Benbrook & don’t want fast food, go here next to the post office. Big portions for not much $. I usually get the cayenne chicken sandwich, but burgers & catfish are good too.

What a loss to humanity!

why couldnt some of the riff raff on west camp bowie burn down?

Spec’s on BI does not have AC. It ain’t broke, they don’t fucking have it. That is crazy.

That is some Thunderdome shit!

That’s what I asked her, because obviously Tom Thumb had it. I was shocked. Maybe someone stole all the copper, & they were like, “Fuck it”. 

I’m not opposed, but can’t buy until 7. I only have one paisley shirt. 

went to crockett food hall last night, yet another vendor has shuttered in there. i just don't see how any of those guys are making money. 

Fret not, fellow Westside friends, the Grandy's on Camp Bowie & Alta Mere has reopened.

Grandys rolls used to be incredible. That's all I've got.

Still are. I meant to post their re-opening this past weekend. Don't know if the Tuesday chicken fried steak special is still available. 

Maybe they close every night. And he was just really happy today to find that they opened for business, as planned.

Which one of you degenerate fucks is the goober hanging out at the QT on Las Vegas trail and 20 in a purple paisley shirt asking for cigarettes and a beer at 6 in the morning? Introduced yourself next time and I might oblige.

The Las Vegas Trail & 30 Qt always has some Goobers hanging out. That general area has some decent people watching. I was at Ged’s Across the highway and the salesman said he kept a pistol in the desk drawer cause they been robbed several times.

I’m sure that’s great for the wine.

The cashiers all have fans in their faces, but the stock dudes will really fucking hate life here shortly.

I’m honestly curious how they can sell wine with a straight face if their store temp is going in the upper 80s or even 90s.

At derek allan's bbq right now. The brisket is legit. Great rub, completely rendered fat. I doubt the wagyu makes that much of a difference. The pork ribs are avg. Ok flavor. I like a mildly sweeter rub, that being, their black sauce goes well with the ribs.

May try the Dive tonight, their Fb says they’re only open 4-9. Kinda odd. 

Good burger, nice crust on the patty, buttered/toasted potato bun was a welcome change. Extremely limited menu, 7 burgers & a few apps, that’s it. Fries were terrible, frozen shit, onion rings supposedly better. Frozen Beam-&-Coke was stronger than expected.

Will definitely return. 

Btw, derek Allan's wife is a smoke show, as stated earlier in this thread. 

I'm amazed no one died. I read one news report stating everyone was ejected, including an infant.

Is that an older explorer ?

Was wondering the same thing, then I thought maybe an expedition.

Went there today for lunch.  Never mind the BBQ, she is worth the trip!!!

Brisket was good, ribs were good.  On par with Heim River District BBQ. 

Also tried Grandy's on the circle at Camp Bowie on Thursday.  Their re-opening is a shit show.  Took 3 people to check me out at the register.  Rolls were barely cooked, chicken wasn't much bigger than hot wings from Buffalo Bros or Wing Stop.  In fact, BB might have bigger hot wings.

Asked them why they closed, and was told that they were re-training their workforce.  Someone else there told me it was for remodeling.  I didn't notice anything new inside, so who knows what the real story is there.  Won't go back, it wasn't nearly as good as before their closing.
