(Centerville, IA)
Scooter’s 290th bar, first visited in 2007.
While I tried 3 times to close the men’s room door before giving up and peeing with it wide open, B struck up a conversation with the bartender about her carpal tunnel braces.
When we left this was a memorable bar, but we didn’t realize until several hours later how memorable it would become. The following information was given to us by some people that we would meet 10-1/2 hours later:
The Silver Spur used to be called Larry’s Silver Spur. Larry was a really nice guy, but then one day his wife up and shot him in the head. She’s in prison now. Then later there was a couple in there and they had an argument. The girlfriend stormed out and the boyfriend stayed inside, he was going to wait for her to cool off and knew she’d come back in. But she never did… because when she went outside she stepped onto the highway and got flattened by a semi. They got most of her for the burial but “one arm was unattainable.”
I haven’t been able to confirm any of this yet but it’s too interesting of gossip not to pass along.
