In this location the Silver Bullet and Silver Phoenix struggled from 1977 to 1980
with a number of fires and neighborhood problems. It finally closed in March 1980.

a bit of pre-opening hype for the new bar...11/80

this is a neighborhood of fine old homes and there is insufficient parking

there was a mechanical bull...

  By this time they opened the Truck Stop next door

in that location now is a block of townhouses...
