Perhaps they could team up with Ogle's and Tiggers to create the SMU trampstamp and peroxide blonde resource center... Seems it is ripe for a bit more SMU eminent domain style purchase.

That place was sketchy. I know this from experience. Too bad about the Cuckoos Nest, but I’m surprised it lasted as long as it actually did. That place was sketchy. I know this from experience.

Well, you are probably too young to remember that one. How about Grandfaloon? Anyhow this building housed what I believe was the second location of The Black-Eyed-Pea. Also there was an excellent Chinese restaurant next door in the late 70s early 80s - The San Pan. But I'm sure some even older-timer can tell us what was there originally. BTW I have been to The Dallasite across from Jimmy's on Fitzhugh. Pretty good place, I went to see the neighborhood kids in Eight Arms to Hold You (Beatles tribute band). JB you forgot the Krizbar.

I've been once; wouldn't really call it a "Billards Bar", though they have a few tables.
