Gilley's Nightclub Archaeology - July 7, 2013

Archaeology: The scientific study of material remains (as fossil relics, artifacts, and monuments) of past human life and activities


Look for the original Gilley's sign at Red Bluff and Spenser Highway in a fenced off restaurant/club area


Sign was saved from the now cleared off original site and is for sale to a true fan of Gilley's


Pass by Don Key driving down Spencer Highway to the original site.   Patrons ate before hitting Gilley's!


The original entrance to Gilley's with likely original concrete sign supports still in place


Pan the field from the opposite Social Security Administration building across the street


A treasure trove of buried Lone Star beer bottle caps lie just below the grassy surface


The three sites lie along Spencer Highway divided by Beltway 8
