340 - Its Everywhere

I went to the 8th Ward Beneficial Club this evening as is my custom every Thursday night..While watching the horse racing on the Club's satelite TV , I was joined by Don Myers.
Don's son Scott (Super Sports Sunday) Myers was a fixture at 340 and occasionally his brother Chris, a card carrying Club member, also showed up.
The irony is that Scott's dad,Don,actually lived at the 340,after our hey-day, during the 1990's. I told him about the re-union and he said he would relay the news to his boys and he was sure they would attend.
I dunno how the conversation got around to roofs but Don said he had to repair the roof at the 340 Club where it adjoined to the 338 Club. He removed a water stained ceiling tile and noticed a hole,while preparing to patch it he spotted what caused the damage..He dug out a 9mm bullet. He theorized it was shot in the air and its downward path found its niche in the Club's roof.
As zany as the antics were on West King Street, guns were never a factor, unlike today's society. Besides as Tee pointed out after consulting with our attorney,the statute of limitations have all expired. I guess the moral of this post is that the 340 legacy has connections everywhere you go.
