Fort Worth's Finest


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Fort Worth's Finest
Fort Worth's Finest

Vintage is an understatement - Cowboys have been gathering at the White Elephant Saloon to enjoy an adult beverage after a long day at work since the late 1800’s. As you can see – Martha Stewart did not visit and fluff the place up! If you are ever in Fort Worth stop by for a cold one, swap a few stories with the locals and listen to some great music!

  Oh, I've read about this place and have always wanted to stop in on a hot summer TX day for a cold one and soak up the authentic western flavor of the place...but your capture does a pretty good job doing just that, Jeff! Beautiful detail, great textures, lines and color...On my "must-see" list, for sure!

  I LOVE to research the origin of 'words/phrases'...

SALOON: Date of Origin 18th c.

Saloon is part of a widespread western European family of words for ‘large room’. They go back to a prehistoric Germanic *salaz, ancestor of German saal. This was borrowed into Vulgar Latin as *sala, whose descendants include French salle and Italian sala. A derivative of this, denoting ‘large size’, was salone, which was borrowed into French as salon. English acquired this at the beginning of the 18th century in two forms: the original salon and the anglicized saloon.

Can't get any more 'vintage' than this 'Slice' of History, Jeff!!<:))

  Okay, tell me the truth. Under the "SALOON" sign, is that Knotty pine or BULLET HOLES? HA!!!!

This sounds like a very colorful place. Not sure I'd go in without the Sheriff escorting me however. :)

Call me chicken, but if it has been around THAT long I bet it's known for it's shoot-em-up bar fights, too!

Great Find and Great Fun, Jeff! :D
