There was many a happy hangover created at Tupi's bar back in the early 1980's.

There was a Chinese restaurant down on Bachman Lake that we used to go to when I was a kid. It was a real treat and I always looked forward to eating there. It was called the House of Gong. It's been so long since I went down NW Highway that I can't remember if its even still there. probably not I would suspect.

That area has changed so much thru the years. I doubt if you would recognize it now.

Most, if not all of the strip clubs moved. There is no House of Gong, there was a Lotus right across from Bachman Lake that I used to go to in the 1990's but it is closed.
I remember in 1978 being a young college graduate from Ohio, standing on the balcony of the Circle Inn, looking at Texas Stadium to the west, watching all the traffic going by on NW Highway, all the cars parked in the European Crossrads, all the lights on at the bars and discos and saying, "Man, I want to live here. This is where it is at." 
Thankfully I never moved to that location, and moved to Plano instead cause that area ain't what it used to be. |

Madcap Mollies was one of my favorite clubs there on NW Highway back in the day. They always had good bands.

Stumbled upon this thread googleing the flicks. What a blast reading this thread , my big brother took me there one night maybe '70 or '71 i was 15 or so. It was an old theatre in the Oaklawn area, where on Sat. nights around 11 or 12, (Hippies) would wait outside, then fill the place. Short interesting films, complimentary smoke and koolaid were passed around(by the clientell) . During the week classic films were shown

Could that be the Delman? I really don't remember anything like that at The Esquire.

Sounds familiar. Remember WW Wildcats class of '70 -'74 burning rubber around the horseshoe with our muscle cars. Many thanks for reviving the dallas times herald classified jingle from deep in the membrain
