The Old Red Carpet,

known now as the Tiger Town Tavern, will be temporarily closed down. I think drinking on campus is not allowed, so that means that somewhere there will be a gathering this fall to party somewhere off campus. Please get permission before you do to curtail Fuzz interference. Just an old voice of experience trying to pass on some hard won lessons,

I can still feel my feet sticking to the cig' burned red carpet with god knows what chemistry happening. We could play Pong back against the back wall going to the rest rooms (but Nick's was the first to offer it - upstairs...)

I loved the Red Carpet and remember going to the Slot Car Track but I thought it was farther down. I was just a kid then so I can not be sure about exactly where the track was but I thought it was closer to Barnett's Music.

Yep, this Corona virus chit just got real, now. Messing with one of the most hallowed of Clemson traditions.

They put the original Pong in the Carpet after they got rid of the GO-GO platform. Too many drunks tried to get up there with the performer. The front half was a cafeteria until 5PM., when they drew the curtain back. Pin ball machines were by the back wall.

a rite of passage. Beer and pizza at the old Study Hall, and then more beer at The Red Carpet Lounge.
I still say that if 18 is old enough to be indicted into the military, to fight and maybe die for this country, then it should be old enough t hoist a drink in her honor as well. But that's just me. The college experience has to be different for kids nowadays. Of course they still drink, but they have to sneak around to do it.

Starting in '71 or '72, you could call over to Capri's (other side of the Study Hall) and they would call back to let you know it was ready for pickup. There was enough time to finish a pitcher, get the pizza, drink another while eating and then drink another. About that time it was time for the late movie. Oh, the days when it was cheaper to hitch hike home.
