CRYSTAL SPRINGS HISTORY: Use Google and enter SPRINGS OF TEXAS click the option displaying the author's name BRUNE.
1939 a large facility there was called, "CRYSTAL SPRINGS DANCE PAVILION" located just North of where the White Settlement Road bridge crosses the Trinity River. Their Fort Worth telephone number then was 7-0141. I was six years old and my Mother and Father would go there dancing. I would stand near the railing on the Trinity River side of the building. I could look down over the railing and see those people swimming in a pool on the level below. A employee would come over and ask me if I was hungry. I always said yes when anyone asked me. She would take me by the hand to the kitchen dining room. Eggs, sausage and toast was cooking. There were one or two drunks in there eating. There were bunks on the other end of the room. After I ate, the employee would invite me to go lay down on a bunk. I did. The next thing I knew my Father was picking me up and carrying me out to our family car a 1928 Hupmobile. Back to home we went....

I am grateful for DISMUKE s lengthy comments. What Fort Worth really needs is another Amon G. Carter or a B.B. Paddock.
Neither of these Guys were geniuses. They were able to secure the Publics attention..... B.F. MAUPIN ...
