Acapulco Inn

August, 27th, 1985

The four of us, Harold Sharrock, Owen Mayne, Ray Norton and myself took ourselves out to the Acapulco Inn on 2nd Street which was an odd choice, a hole in the wall bar that was quite different than Legends.

Historical information is fascinating, a pitcher of beer was $2.25 and we had quite a few, we had not noticed that there were only men in the bar, but hey, that was usual wasn't it?

Ray was dressed in his usual Don Johnson duds, sockless and was getting quite a bit of attention, I think I was sat at the bar and some guy was really interested in my watch, leaning in to look at it and Owen became excessively talkative the more beer that went in.

The next morning at Douglas, several guys in the office told us that it was a gay bar.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...
