Fort Worth's Finest [Contest Finalists November 2010]
Uploaded: November 05, 2010 03:14:05
Vintage is an understatement - Cowboys have been gathering at the White Elephant Saloon to enjoy an adult beverage after a long day at work since the late 1800’s. As you can see – Martha Stewart did not visit and fluff the place up! If you are ever in Fort Worth stop by for a cold one, swap a few stories with the locals and listen to some great music!

I LOVE to research the origin of 'words/phrases'...SALOON: Date of Origin 18th c.
Saloon is part of a widespread western European family of words for ‘large room’. They go back to a prehistoric Germanic *salaz, ancestor of German saal. This was borrowed into Vulgar Latin as *sala, whose descendants include French salle and Italian sala. A derivative of this, denoting ‘large size’, was salone, which was borrowed into French as salon. English acquired this at the beginning of the 18th century in two forms: the original salon and the anglicized saloon.
Can't get any more 'vintage' than this 'Slice' of History, Jeff!!<:))

This sounds like a very colorful place. Not sure I'd go in without the Sheriff escorting me however. :)
Call me chicken, but if it has been around THAT long I bet it's known for it's shoot-em-up bar fights, too!
Great Find and Great Fun, Jeff! :D
