Roadhouse and the Real Jasper

Full story: Associated Content

I grew up in Jasper, Missouri. In the late 1980s, Patrick Swayze came to Jasper, Missouri in the form of Dalton, the head bouncer , to clean up the town's popular nightclub called the Double Deuce. via Associated Content

Maybe you weren't driving then, but Mr. Green had a great auto parts store just west of Webb's hardware. I also remember a few cars for sale down by McKay's. No hospital with a hot doc, but there were plenty of pretty girls that I remember.

It's been that long ? Poor Patrick, we'll miss him.
Jasper has been known for their pretty girls. I married one. There were so many I had to flip a coin to decide which one. They were sweeties too.
Who is running the Webb Hardware now ? Roy's daughters were pretty ones too.
When I left Jasper we were still using crank phones and our football helmets were made of leather. 1954. Our basketball shorts were as short and tight as the Dallas Cowgirls shorts.

That is pretty sad news to hear.
Maybe they were all exported.
Come to think of it, just about all the guys in my class of 54 married Jasper girls and left town and some moved to other states.
Talk to your Chamber of Commerce and see if they can get somethin goin.

I agree, that is sad. As I recall there were some hot chicks in Jasper back in the 70s - maybe they did all fly the coop. I got mine in Carthage, she is a looker! Last time I went though Carthage I saw quite a few pretty senoritas too. ;-)

Speaking of Carthage, mine came from Carthage but out north. Went to school at Jasper. We have been hitched for 53 years. I used to skate at the Carthage Park Skating Rink almost every day for a long time. Played cupid for a couple of skaters.
What is the population at Jasper now ?
is it real

Is there a real Double Deuce in Jasper? Im from Arkansas and ive never been to Jasper. My husband and I were wanting to know if there really is a club called Double Deuce in Jasper.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
