Reply With QuoteThe worst stretch of speed traps is betw Harlingen and So Padre of Hw 100. The speed limit goes from 65 to 40 in 1/8 of a mile practically and if you miss the one sign, you are screwed...I have fallen victim to that.
The funniest speed trap I ever saw was in a little town on Hwy 90 between San Antonio and Uvalde...during hunting season the traffic would be really heavy Thursday-Monday with hunters...many coming from as far as Dallas, Houston, or even Louisiana...all were speeding and most were drinking...
there is a little town called D'Hanis that if you blink, you miss...but the speed limit dropped to 35 for about 400 yards.
The local judge cut a deal with an unemployed cowboy and they started speedtrappin D'Hanis during hunting season on the halves...it was funny as ...he just had a badge, a radargun, and a Starsky and Hutch red magnetic clamp on light (and a ticketbook of course)...
He drove an old beat up mus yellow pickup with hay bales in the back...he would back in in front of the cafe and shoot radar both ways...he didn't even have a uniform...just wranglers, cowboy shirts, cowboy hat, and a badge...
I was lucky enough that I saw him on the first weekend as he popped the guy just in front of me...they ran that scam for a couple of years and must have made a friggin fortune...most of the tickets were for like 85 in a 35...

They need to shut down the Corsicana trap on 45. It's not a speed trap, because it's perpetually under construction, and it takes 2 hours to go 4 miles.
Meanwhile they have 800 patrolmen waiting for anyone who dares to veer off the highway onto the access road.
that would be the last national bank !... the name of the disco that preceeded The Palace Strip club on 410 betw Starcrest and Perrin Beitel?
i should remember that place as that was where i "encountered" my first older woman experience
in the parking lot !:eyebrow
Very good Taz....you go to the head of the class.
PS. So that was you I chased out of my car when I caught a couple ing in it at 2 am. :p
damn, jimcs50 ...
i thought there was somebody watching, but i, always thought it was her ex-husband trying to learn what it was that he failed to "give" her !
no, seriously, though, it, actually was around midnight (on the dancefloor) when she whispered in my ear that she wanted to "ditch" this place, and take me back to her apt, but, evidently she couldn't wait, so she proceeded to "take matters into her hands" in the parking lot in the back !
The name of the other Disco was Burgandy Woods.
burgundy woods was further up loop 410, just b4 you get to starcrest, and not where it was originally suggested as where that other strip club is, across the loop from the palace !
it was a pretty nice disco, as it contained two floors, w/ 2 dance floors, and you could look down on the lower level from the upper level !
it, also had some pretty damn sexy waitresses !!!:eyebrow
Yes, Burgandy Woods was cool with the top floor looking down on the dance floor with the colored lights in the floor.
since everybody appears to be concerned with the disco nightclubs of the late 70s - 80s, does anybody remember the one that was about a block off of the access road on loop 410 between nacogdoches & broadway, on the same block where there used to be the crystal baking co. ?
Yes, forgot the name though. Also there was one on Wurzbach where there is a strip club now too.
the one on wurzbach rd was called the grand hotel, and the one between broadway & nacogdoches was called sugar's !
and for all those that frequent the current "gentleman's" establishment with the same name, no it wasn't the same type of club !
ah yes, The Grand Hotel, that was a nice place to have drinks with friends because it was not as crowded and noisy as others.
since nobody could figure out where the original graham central station was located, i'll, kindly offer up a hint ....
it ws located on the street that's named after a very prominent city in texas !
anybody ?
Houston St?

LaGrange St?
Dallas St?
San Antonio St?
Bryan St?
Harlingen St?
Corpus Christi St?
Galveston St?
El Paso St?
