At the Broken Spoke, which opened its doors to a crowd of 300 people in 1964, Sunday is the only night that there's not country-and-western music (and dancing) till near midnight. The glow of dozens of neon beer signs illuminates the big hall in back where Willie Nelson still drops in on occasion. In the front room, sagging Christmas lights glint against wood-paneled walls, Lone Star flows freely from the tiny bar, and chicken-fried steak can be had for $6.
wherever it appears.
