Update Saturday night - BD's been getting email that Bandera has reopened. Details when we get them.

Instead of playing red dirt music, Bandera is now eating its own red dirt.

The landlord locked the doors on them yesterday, which is the Lowest Greenville way of saying Next tenant victim, please!

BD had been hearing rumors of money problems recently. The best source told us that one of the owners was out looking for a $25,000 bridge (to nowhere??) loan.

The same source tells us that one potential sucker - we mean, investor - asked what the collateral would be. The answer - None.

If Cottman Lanes, BBG and AZA, and Chinese food are important memories in your life, we need to talk. Hail Northeast!

Every Christmas on Lowest Greenville, you can count on three things - Santa will deliver toys, Hanukah Harry will deliver better toys, and one of the scumbar owners will put a tent on his property without any permit. And this year was no different.

Except this time, a full court press by local neighborhood associations and City Council Member Angela Hunt made sure the tent came down. And it ain't going back up.

Two more bars expected to announce major changes after New Year

Ibero ULC, Lowest Greenville's gangbanger destination of choice, has been shut down by a one-two punch from the TABC and the property's owner. Ibero has not opened its doors for two weekends, and former employees are begging for jobs at other bars on the strip.

Update 12/22/2009 - Local law enforcement officials tell BarkingDogs that Ibero was offered a 45-day closure to start in late January 2010 or risk more than $40,000 in fines and penalites. After accepting the closure, the property owner (who also controls the liquor permit), told them to take a hike immediately.

According to BD's sources, here is how Ibero was squeezed out of business

BD is way behind the calendar on posting a Hanukah video this year.

'Oy' is just 'Yo' backwards...
