The DU Lounge

We got busted for drinking water out of a garden hose at the house up on top of the hill by a nice lady. She did not think water out of a hose was healthy, so she hauled us inside the house to have a proper drink of water. She opened her walk-in refrigerator (a walk-in refrigerator!) and pulled out a crystal pitcher of cold, cold water and we had a grand talk. Turned out, her husband was an oil tycoon galavanting around the world, making more money (and shooting more endangered animals, I guess), while she was there, mostly alone. I remember her name, Mrs Burke, but I was never able to learn anything about her oil tycoon husband.

I found out later, the house used to be a roadhouse which explains the walk-in refrigerator. It was also suspected of being a speakeasy that was off limits by the police for obvious (wink, wink) reasons, but that's another story.

Years later, Bill Graham bought the roadhouse and lived there until his death.
