I don't know where to put this post. It's not of great importance, but
I'm feeling a bit nostalgic. Does anybody here remember
Stuebaker's--one of the best dance places and pick-up clubs in the
country? Just tell me.

heh...when i was younger, my mother's town had a place titled that...

it was an old-fashioned soda shop, with antique cars parked in the
building.

The club I'm talking about was in Houston during the 80's. It was a
chain of sorts and did have an old car in it, but wasn't a soda shop.
They had a DJ, and the favorite songs to dance to were SHOUT and
RESPECT. My newly divorced friends and I went often. We went in packs of
3 or 4 and NEVER had any problems. Once one of my teacher friends and I
went to a Kentucky Derby themed party there. We arrived about 1 P.M.
and next thing I knew it was 2 A.M. the next day. We had spent over 12
hours at a night club. I wish I could say I was exaggerating, but it's
true. If I tried that stunt now, I'd be dead.

hehe...the place my mom lives is a town of 7000 people, and was much
less in the old days. it's also a very, very, very dry county.

the building is in the historic registry as "studebaker showroom". the
following link is to the actual building, years later...a virtual tour.

There's still a Studebakers in Myrtle Beach. They still have the Shag
contests there. For anyone who dosen't know, the Shag is a popular dance
in MB that I'm not very good at(LOL).

I lived in Houston in the 80's, and yes I went to Studebakers. There
was also one in Miami when I moved there.

Hey Imkeys, I remember you. You tried to pick me up, remember? Did we
have a good time? LOL I especially loved the ladies room. There was
an attendent in there that had everthing a girl would need for a
pick-me-up--perfume, asprin, makeup, etc. Did the guys have that?

sushi,
Of course we had a good time. Glad you remember me even without the
hair. I guess the guitar gave me away. Ever get out to Gilley's? That
was my side of town.
