HALF MOON SALOON SECURITY GETS A MASTER UPGRADE

(Ed.'s Note: We always marveled at the creativity of the original owners of the Crescent Moon, later to evolve into the Half Moon Saloon under the current ownership of George Ramirez, president of the Brownsville Society for the Performing Arts. 

When he and his buddy Ben Neece took over the building the security bars were jack handles, iron pry bars and chisels welded on iron bars. Now that they have a working taqueria in the space that the Crescent Moon used to be, there was a need for a more modern security set up and that's what was done. The new Master lock replaces the old pry bars and jack handles welded on the iron bars. As far we know, no one was able to get past the old system. We'll see whether the new locks do the job.)

They also need to not let minors in. Last night was crawling with kids under 21. How is that even allowed!?

I just installed a high tech security system in my outhouse. You want a picture?

But will the new system keep out those pesky stash eating canines?

Just like the Valentin/Stegman building at 11th and Washington that was much
nicer without all the still-going-on improvements! It really is a whole in the wall and is never going to beat Rutledge's Hole in the wall award.

After how many years to improve security?

Downtown Ratas are not impressed. They can chew through that with their teeth. Get a Man eating dog instead. If nothing else, it will scare the shit out any ner do wells.

Rutledge and the Barrel house go hand in hand burgers and beer.
