Mad Dogs and Englishmen may go out in the midday sun according to Noel Coward, but after the sun goes down they all seem to end up at Mad Dogs Saloon, San Antonio, Texas. For two nights in a row Mad Dogs was an experience keeping with its namesake. A family from Wisconsin had flown …
Not knowing where exactly to start, I’ll begin at the end. The last I heard from and about Dick was that he’d been arrested for selling dynamite to undercover FBI agents. Not surprised. Dick needed a psychiatrist when he was in high school, probably much earlier, but by high school he was in position to …
Published Sunday, April 14, 2002 JOPLIN (AP) – The photo is so vivid you can almost taste the water coming out of the canteen. One look and you have a sense of what the cool drink must have meant to the weary soldier caught in the camera lens of Life magazine photographer W. Eugene Smith. …
Evangelo’s has got to be the liveliest bar in Santa Fe around the Palace of Governors once the sun goes down, a rather disapointing discovery. No wolves howling at the moon, no wind talkers, wind walkers, or pub crawlers to be seen. Maybe Canyon Road is a better choice, although the one bar visited there …

Although the alligators are real and the guide doesn’t carry or shoot a cap gun at an angry hippopotamus, the boat is not on a track and we don’t get to see the ‘backside’ of water as we glide behind the pretend falls…the swamp tours still have a little of the Disneyland “Jungle Cruise” feeling. …
I can’t exactly recall how we came upon the Abbey. I know it started with a load of laundry at Check Point Charlie, along with a few beers at the bar while the clothes washed and spun dry. A great idea – laundromat, bar, food, pool tables and live music – all under the same …
Coop’s is the place for good food and a good jukebox. On second thought, great food and a great jukebox is a more accurate description. Who it was or how it was that we were directed to Coop’s Place as the place for food is forgotten. Coop’s, however, will never be. This was maybe …
Where’d that come from? I knew after ordering the beer that the guy behind the bar was one piece short of a puzzle. Drugs, too many for too long… Just order a beer, don’t confuse him with a mixed drink, and don’t ask him what’s on tap. Just say “a beerâ€, and point to the …
