Most of the main part of the Riverwalk is developed, with hotels and restaurants and bars competing for those tourist dollars. But every now and then, there’s a place that’s been passed by, that serves as a reminder of what the whole place used to look like.

This was one of those places.

The game

Many years ago, my father-in-law tended bar at this place. I sort of had the feeling that he’d probably recognize this customer, who seemed pretty content to sit on his regular barstool, drinking beer and watching whatever game was on television.
