Lived off 14 1/2 & Studewood at one time, and owned a house/recording
studio in the 2000 block of Columbia back in my wild, single musician
days. Lots of good memories ... seeing every musician in town at Andy's on
11th, at 3 AM, after a gig ...or playing at the old Rising Star on Euclid,
or at Fitzgerald's, back in my 'road band' days, before he got killed on
his motorcycle and Sarah took over and made a headbanger place out of it,
or Rockefeller's, when it was a happening music venue ,with Primo's next
door, which had the best fajita's in Texas, still not beat to this day.

... and it's still a pretty good mix of third world and yuppieville.

That would be around 20th. a few blocks east of Heights Blvd.
Saw Kinky Freidman play Fitzgeralds back in the late 70s (I think; I'm
missing a year somewhere back around that time), ) Always thought of it
as a firetrap what with all the boozin' and druggies that frequented such a
large wooden structure. I remember noting the exits at the Kinkster gig
(like I could have found my ass with a flashlight and a map that night!).
As for fajitas, I'll take Tia Maria's on Dacoma right across the street
from Delmar Stadium. Killer margaritas even though I most always do Negro
Modela with my Mescan.
