So... Vulture... Did y'all visit the woods first, too?

"Well, I hear it's fine
if you've got the time
and the ten to get yourself in."

Wasn't it in La Grange?

Laredo was $20.00 in the early 70's.

La Grange....about 40 miles southwest. But it might as well have been in Calcutta because very few of us had cars then....and I didn't know anyone who had 3 dollars to spare. I did hear that some football players had a good deal there as bouncers. No first hand knowledge.

For the best stories look up Bill Lavender, Class of '64. He grew up in the Valley and passed along a lot of the subject etiquette back and forth from Sealy to La Grange to the Valley - just to even things up of course...

AAAAAg

In the late 50's, it was $5.00. That's about $300.00 per hour, however! hehe

LaGrange, TX

I think it's on 71 just South East of Bastrop.

Gig'em,
Silly

The chicken ranch was moved and is in Nevada, I am thinking that it is affiliated with the original. Here is the website. http://www.chickenranchbrothel.com/

I know a guy that went there (really it was not me) and he said that $300 got you everything.

You are just trying to be the most prolific poster.

I heard the beer was $10 for a plastic bottle. Concessions.

Men.........always thinking with their...heads???

up to $5 by 1960. It's nothing like you see on the screen. Was a hard to find turn-off off from a country road that was hard to find too. Seemed like a long drive up the road, but probably the anticipation had something to do with that, and was called the chicken ranch because old farmers traded chickens for "treats", and chickens were wild up and down that road to the house. You'd see 'em nesting in the trees along the drive. It was one story but spread out. The biggest thing offensive about it was the "quarter for the juke box?" request and "dollar for a coke?". Outrageous prices! The one thing that was authentic about both "Best Little" and "Junction Boys" was the large black lady greeter saying, as you approached the door, "you boys 18??" and then laughing when we 8th graders said "yeah". And, yes, many were sip co-eds.

ps -- for those of you wondering where it was, ever wonder why ZZTop did a song called "La Grange"??

I nominate this thread of the year...

Thanks for the history lesson...

My mom ('74) got very upset the first time I told her & my Dad ('68) I went to the Chicken.

I had to explain I meant the Dixie Chicken.

Hi, my name is Marvin, and I am an a-hole.

Hi, Marvin!!

Son, It's in DALLAS! They just stole the name in Nevada. Go to the Handbook of Texas, it's online. 1977 to Dallas. See my previous post!

I hate living in the 21st century!!!!! Y'all old ags had all the fun!!!!!!!

That was my favorite part of the movie! I was thinking that $3 for a t-sip hooker was a bit expensive though. ;-)

Gladiator-91! Hilarious...

Thanks BigJim, I was not aware. They promote the place there like it was the original. But what do you mean in Dallas, obviously not open for business???

Most girls in Austin are not even $3!! hehe

they moved the building up to Dallas and made a restaurant (failed) out of it somewhere on Upper Greenville, I think. I don't know if it's still there or not, but the original idea didn't last. I think it too was called The Chicken Ranch.

There was another attempt to start one on Hwy 21 near the old Bryan AFB. I think it was called Nezzies or was madamed by a person named Nezzie. I know there was an old beer joint named Nezzies out there, but I can't confirm the other. That was a lot closer to campus. Maybe some other OA's remember it.

While looking for a house for me and my buddies to rent, we looked at a house on Hwy 6 south of Rock Prarie Road. The owner who was showing us the house told us stories of the guy he bought it off. It was apparently another type of ***** house. The way the house was set up, you could actually believe some of the stories. The house was located on the west side of 6. Anyone else every heard of this. I was told it's last operational days were in the 70's sometime.

Son and Ben, I am almost certain it is still there operating under another name - don't want to mention the name just in case. Two lawyers first bought it and used the chicken food motif but it went under after about a year.

1977.

Nezzie's was in North Bryan when I arrived in 1960. It became famous for three things:
1. Country Swing dancing.
2. George Jones visited every so often... and
drum roll...
3. It is where Linda Lovelace got her start in "show" business!!

Most of us went to Wehrman's for a Chicken Fried Steak, moseyed on down to the Neptune for appetizers, and on to the Hitchin' Post for dessert...


AAAAAg

I paid $ 10 in the 70's, frickin inflation

It does appear that you lived life to it's fullest while in the area.

Many of us did...

Is Nezzie's where David Allen Coe got his inspiration to write "I'm the only mother****er in the damn world that could make linda lovelace gag"?

Sorry for the profanity, but its the song title

There was definitely a Nezzie's beer joint by Bryan AFB on Hwy21. Had a band of Mexican musicians called "Joe and the Navigators". They did one song in English, "Oo-Poo-Paa-Doo", and that was the only english "word" of the song they knew. They'd do it fast, then slow it down and do it slow. I remember they had go-go cages where Nezzie's daughter and others -- the late Linda Lovelace perhaps? -- would rock away. While the sips were at Schlutz' Beer Garden talkin' sip, we were rockin' to Joe and the Navigators at Nezzies! And they actually thought there was nothing to do in B/CS.

Chicken Ranch sounds much better than the library about now!
