Now to gamble in Fayette County you only need to go to almost any Gas Station or Bar in La Grange (the Conoco or Texas Star on Travis) come to mind right off. Several others along the Hwy. 71 bypass, also are available.
Strange how those are overlooked.
Mr. or Mrs. Miller,
I don’t think it’s fair for you to make a general statement about all the gas stations in and around LG. There are 7 stations around LG that I go to from time to time. I can’t remember seeing any 8 liners in them. Besides, it’s not illegal to play an 8 liner and pay out cheap stuffed toys, but when you pay out cash winnings that’s what makes it Illegal.
I’m not trying to defend Leo, I have known him for a long time and for the most part he’s an ok fella, but he is not saint.
