Hot dogs played a role in Red McCombs and his partners’ involvement with the Golden Garter Saloon, which was the site of a shootout and near the monorail crash at the world’s fair.
. “It was an expensive venue because first we had to build a two-story structure designed to resemble an old-style saloon and then book acts for the entire six-month run of the fair.” McCombs and his partners agreed to build the Lakeside Pavilion and the Golden Garter — if they could have the hot dog concession. “In the end,” McCombs said, “the hot dogs broke even, and the Golden Garter turned into a cash cow.
. Inspired by the saloons in mining towns and logging and railroad camps of the Canadian West in the turn of the last century, their Golden Garter also featured Gay ’90s-style decor and entertainment. The San Antonio club brochure promises “the same show and entertainers who were the hit of Expo in Montreal.” Canadian troupe manager Taller O’Shea was hired to import his show — a magician, a hypnotist, acrobats, singers, dancers and musicians — to San Antonio.
“I had been told by more than a few people that someone who looked just like me was one of the can-can dancers at the Golden Garter I decided it was time for me to meet my doppelganger.” Outside the saloon, red-headed Linda Cooper and her fiancé, Rich Persyn, “stood and watched the girls who came out and danced on the balcony to lure customers inside. None of them looked like me — not one even had red hair.
The couple decided to go inside to be sure. “A ticket taker sat at a table outside the door and never looked up as he grumbled, ‘$2 apiece,’” Persyn remembered. “I might have had some liquid courage already, so I said, ‘Even if I work here?’” The ticket taker looked up and said, ‘Hi, Judy! No cover for employees on their night off. Y’all go on in and have a good time.’”
Seated at a table, they were approached by a waitress who asked if they’d like a couple of longnecks. “When she brought them back with two chilled mugs,” Persyn said, “Rich pulled out his wallet, and she told him it was on the house since he was with Judy. Another gal came around with a basket of flowers and said to him, ‘This one's on the house, for Judy,’ and she put it in my hair.
