The end of an era. This was the last weekend that this bar/nightclub was open. The owner was tired after twenty-seven years and decided to shut it down. He made the decision and did it quickly. This establishment has a long history of being a bar. It was Nickels before this although it was the same owner. Back in the 1960's and 1970's it was called Nashville West. It is close to the base and was the place to go for the younger crowd.
For a couple months the bank owned it and so they wouldn't lose the liquor license they had to open it, so a couple of us volunteered to work and we called it Nobodys. It was also called the Buckaroo and you can't forget when it was called the Pink Door and was a strip joint.
ReplyDeleteBack in the early 60's it was also called the "Buckaroo" Buck Owens and Roy West were part owners in the bar and showed up from time to time....my Momma told me many stories of that place...some good, some not so much :)
