You can even still buy a pair if you've got an extra two grand lying around or try to get a better deal on eBay. But for the thrifty sight seer that just wants to catch a glimpse of the boys, you're in luck. They're no strangers to the Lone Star State.
Stroker's Ice House is biker bar in Dallas housed at the custom bike shop of Rick Fairless. You might have seen it on TruTV's "Ma's Roadhouse." It's got a ton of bizarre statues on top including dinosaurs, a hot dog man and...you guessed it:
There they are crooning to the bikers in some custom polka dotted threads. The boys hold their own among other celebrity statues like Frankenstein, Dracula and Betty Boop. It's getting crowded up there so let's head to the next stop.
I'm not exactly sure what "America's Vice Stop" is. I had assumed that it's one of those places that sells vaping stuff to horrible people but their Facebook page seems to indicate that they sell fresh fruit and vegetables. I don't know why that would be considered a "vice" though. Regardless, though, our pals make an appearance:
The guys are atop a great big storage container (which is apparently for sale) from time to time but recently they've been M.I.A. I don't know if it got too windy to be safe or maybe the store owners are just temporarily storing the boys while they come up with a better way to display them. The Blues Brothers come and go at their own discretion and they're missing from our next stop:
A few years back there was a restaurant housed in the historic Collin County prison in downtown McKinney. In keeping with the theme, the outside was decorated with our friendly felons. The "Prison Bars & Grill" closed down and afterward the statues left for parts unknown. But while they were there we shot video of the place:
I wouldn't be surprised to come across the guys again at some point in the future. So keep your eyes out and maybe you'll see the them too.
