	Around 1976 John and Teresa Hall, owners of the [[BAR X]] on Windsor Avenue purchased the business. Over the next decade, they developed a supper club atmosphere before selling the business to Jim and Kathy Jones in 1989. The year became a curse as it was the start of the realignment of the U.S. 61 / 151 corridor. A frontage road was to be constructed along the stretch of Locust that included The Bridge but access was only available by way of Jones Street from Bluff. Parking was limited.
