SUMMARY:Texas Dives
DESCRIPTION:The word “dive” can conjure the moods of the Film Noir era by e
 voking pessimism\, fatalism\, and menace.  However\, author Anthony Head a
 nd photographer Kirk Weddle dispel those myths through their stunning pros
 e and photographs in their book Texas Dives: Enduring Neighborhood Bars of
  the Lone Star State .  \nHead and Weddle will be speaking at the Allen Pu
 blic Library at 7:30 p.m. Thursday\, March 30.  Admission to the program i
 s free\, and it will be web-casted live at  ACTV.org  by clicking on the W
 ATCH button.   \nA journalist\, Head offers notable insights regarding 12
  of the state's “dives.” Weddle affords the reader an opportunity to vicar
 iously sit in the “dive” and get a close-up view of the bartender or waitr
 ess.  \nThese establishments cater to ordinary people — entrepreneurs\, th
 e retired\, and hard workers. And unlike national chains\, the owners are
  typically on the premises.  Dives anchor their neighborhoods by offering
  simple familiarity. Materials used to build the facility were typically p
 urchased at the local hardware store or lumber yard during the 1950s.  \nR
 aise a glass to this enduring Texas tradition and plan to attend this prog
 ram.  \nThe library is located at 300 N. Allen Dr.  Call 214-509-4911 for
  additional information.\nAllen Public Library\n300 N. Allen Dr. Allen Tx\
