That is a wonderfully grimy window. And I love the tiles. I think you should go back down there, but the research can be done from British Columbia, so you should come here too:

“Sometime after 2 AM on October 24th, two cars came racing down Cotton Gin Road a road that runs perpendicular to Old Spanish Trail. It is unsure if they were racing but they were traveling at an excessive high rate of speed. The drivers never bothered to slow down when they crossed the intersection of highway 21, a short block away from the club. On the east side of highway 21 the road on Cotton Gin has at least a four foot drop in elevation and it is only 300 feet length before it comes to the “T” junction at Old Spanish Trail. That is where the road ends. Apparently the two vehicles went air borne and found it impossible to stop. Before they knew it a four foot chain link fence stood in their path. The one car, a Mazda, plowed through the chain link face, veered to the right and went straight into the electrical meters and inside the bar. The second vehicle made it a little further in the yard before it was surprised by two residential propane tanks blocking its way. It veered into the building to avoid the propane tanks that blocked its way.” From: http://www.examiner.com/article/last-call-at-club-21

Also, look at the following link for a post about the place just before it was burned: http://almostoutofgas.com/club-21-uhland-tx/
