Carl’s Corner Is Not Dead Yet

I drove by the old Carl’s spot recently on the way to Austin and remarked to my co-pilot, “Shame. I remember when Carl opened a topless joint there. A stripper cried on my shoulder because she was afraid she wasn’t going to earn enough money that night to make her car payment. Now the place is kaput.” Not so fast. Willie’s Place at Carl’s Corner is expected to open later this summer. But I’ll believe it when I see it.

Boy, did she pick the wrong shoulder to cry on. So, did you see her hitchhiking I-35 on your return trip?

She pulled that line on you, too? So how much did you give her?

A reliable friend talked to Carl not long ago. He said Carl and Willie did not have kind words for the CEO of Earth Biofuels. Seems there is some questionable financial dealings going on with Earth and the new Willie’s Place is some kind of partnership between Earth, Carl, Willie etc. I know they own stock in Earth also. Anyhow, let’s hope it opens soon with a new dancers that have teeth. Not sure the one who cried on Tim’s shoulder had teeth!
