A Bar

Posted on September 13, 2003 in Book of Days Neighborhood

Note: This is part of a series based on exercises from A Writer’s Book of Days. It’s something of a rebellion against the Friday Five and similar tupperware content memes.

Today’s topic: There’s a bar in Austin, Texas called “Jake’s Place”.

I don’t know what to write on this topic except that I know that Judy Reeves has this thing about cowboys. I don’t. I’ve never been to Texas except on transcontinental or international flights, so I don’t have much of a clue what to write here without dropping into considerable stereotyping.

There’s a biker bar at the bottom of my hill here, but I must admit that I’ve been in there only once. On the weekend, the lot in front of it glows chrome. I sometimes take people to an overlook where they can peer down and get an eyefull.
