Post Script - I was totally oblivious to this but I just found out that the Bar and Grill (Chata Ortega's Bar & Grill) in my opening clip was from the movie Fandango, starring Kevin Costner. Also, the old school house was used as part of the set.

The "Groovers '71" graffiti is a reference to the group of characters in the movie - Kevin Costner, Judd Nelson, Sam Robards, etc.. Five college buddies on a final road trip odyssey.
