I ...I remember the City Café in Abilene quite well. I was a frequent patron in 1976 while working on an imaging project at the Greyhound Hall of Fame, just across the tracks across from the Eisenhower Library. I remember the incredible pastry, the undrinkably weak coffee, and the leaflets. I had many of them, but they disappeared in some move over the past 40 years.<br /><br />I always wanted to use them as the basis for a cantata.<br /><br />Iola, the proprietor, was a Christian cult leader, and her exhortations to her flock of elderly Christian ladies whose life savings had gone first to her and then down a dry oil well (the reason they all worked at the café) were Biblical in their scope. The prophetic theme was that the oil would soon gush forth and they would be rich.
