I was with 3 or 4 other guys, all preacher-types. We came in from Garland so I didn't even know where I was in the city back then. Were these all company stores or what? Any idea as to why it closed? BTW, I went down to the new Trader Vics. After looking at the rather pricy menu, I don't remember DTB being that expensive for that time. How were the prices relativel to the $30 entres that TV's has?? Thanks, Don
