Strutting Duck

The original Strutting Duck was a tiny place out on Wire Road across from a trailer park and down the road from the vet school. The Duck was a place we'd hit up on the way to, or from, a friend’s place in the trailer park on the outskirts of town. The clientele consisted mostly of folks who stopped in to sing David Allen Coe songs when they came on the jukebox (it was entertaining, and better with beer involved). Corporate and flashy, is was NOT. Here's a recollection from a former patron: "We went there because it had cheap cheap beer, darts and a crowd and we could do our laundry next door. A buddy of mine would occasionally go there and drink beer while his clothes were washing next door to the Duck.
