The Ultimate Guide To Daylon Mack, Defensive Tackle, Gladewater - TexAgs

When I went out of the studio, I drove past where the old bowling street had stood. As soon as, in  http://web-design-pros.com/gladewater-web-design/  parking lot, I made a bet inspired by the 1967 movie Cool Hand Luke. In the film, Paul Newman's character ate 50 boiled eggs while in a Florida jail. So I boasted I might consume 50 raw ones.

I was a hero for about 15 minutes and the owner of a bellyache for 2 days. I discovered other remnants of Gladewater's rockabilly past, like the Res-Mor Courts Motel on West Upshur Avenue, where Elvis and others boarded when they weren't remaining in local houses as visitors. Presumably, there's even a visitor card somewhere around with Elvis' signature on it, and a notation of which space he occupied.

This was uncommon back when the finest most places might handle for battling the humid East Texas heat perspired swamp coolers, turning fans, an open window, or a cold shower. Though the Res-Mor is no longer the unusual air-conditioned organization it once was, I hope new ownership leaves the old indication with its brag undamaged as a nostalgic echo to a fading past.

POTHOLE OF THE WEEK

I was checking out Gladewater history at big, and The Gladewater Museum was the ideal place for that. It was when the town library, but was changed into a museum in 2005. As a kid, I spent Saturdays and time after school sitting and checking out there, examining out stacks of books to brighten a rather drab presence.

On Saturdays, I 'd read in the early mornings at the library, stroll over to Ritz Drug store (now a cool coffee and ice cream shop called The Screen Door), and buy a hamburger and a Coke. After a quick lunch, I 'd head next door to what was then The Relaxing Theater but is now an opry house.

I 'd see the kid program, cartoons, and an old-time experience serial that I didn't understand wasn't new, and after that remain for the double feature. At that time they didn't run you out when the films were over. You might stay for another gone through both films, and I often did. The library and theater were redemption to me.
