GATHERING ROUND | Line-dancers take center stage as a typical Saturday crowd looks on at the Round-Up Saloon recently. (Rich Lopez/Dallas Voice)
3 decades of boot-scootin'
Iconic Dallas C&W bar to mark
30 years with four-day celebration
RICH LOPEZ I Staff Writer

The U.S. is at odds with Iran. The President, a
Democrat, signed legislation to bail out the auto
industry. Video games are the rage. Hurricane
season threatens to pound Texas. A sci-fi movie
kicks off the summer.
Things haven't changed much since 1980.
Of course, the Democrat in the White House
was Carter. The hurricane was Allen. Pac-Man
was the height of computer-gaming sophistica-
tion. And the big movie — "The Empire Strikes
Back" — was only the second "Star Wars" pic.
And in one little spot along Maple Avenue on
July 11, the Round-Up Saloon was opening its
doors.
Little did the gay community know that the
new country and western club would be a staple
in the scene for three decades. And counting.
Sunday marks 30 years of operation for the
gay country bar. The celebration will begin July

Friends suspect
foul play in gay
Dallas woman's
disappearance
Lisa Stone, 51, has been missing for
more than a month, and those who
know her best say they fear the worst
JOHN WRIGHT Online Editor

Lisa Stone's closest friends say she isn't one to keep
her mouth shut. They describe her as extremely social
— almost to a fault.
That's why Stone's friends are convinced that if
she's hiding or has left town, she would contact them.
Stone, a 51-year-old gay woman from Dallas, has
not been seen in more than a month. Stone's friends
say they suspect foul play and fear the worst. Not only
has she not called them, but she left behind most of
her possessions, including
her purse.
"Lisa is almost a pest,"
said Tina Wiley,, who's
known Stone since they at-
tended Mesquite High
School together in the mid
-1970s. "We love her, but
there were times when she
would drive you crazy. If
Lisa is somewhere, she
would be on the phone
telling all of us every single
detail. That's what makes us know there's something
wrong."
On Thursday, in response to the concerns of Wiley
and others, Dallas police executed a search warrant at
the home Stone shared with her partner of 15 years,
Sherry Henry.
