To All,
When I was a Freshman at UT (Austin) , I used to carefully drive to Waco because I could buy gas for 18.9 cents a gallon there & it was 24.9 most places in Austin.
(In those days, I drove a BRIGHT RED Hudson Metropolitan roadster & my gas bill for a month was sometimes as much as 10 bucks.)
WHITE CASTLE had 12 little burgers for a dollar on Tuesday after 7PM back then.
Wednesday night was THE PLANTATION at 19th & "Drag", with all you could eat southern fried chicken for 3.95 with drink.
Also SLICK'S CAFE had 60 cent plate lunches then, too.
(And Slick would sell us "underaged guys" Lone Star beer for 50 cents a long-neck, too.)
yours, tex
You should of run down to the Sigmor on west Barton Springs across the street from the old Town Pump tavern. It was 19.9 a gallon. Filled up ever saturday night after getting paid working at concession stand at Barton Springs. Lots cheeper than driving to Waco!
