Stuffed into a slumping white building in the shadows of Interstate 30 and Samuell, Fireplace Lounge is the last remaining bar on a street that once had a lot of them. It’s been there for 27 years, and the owner, Linda, shows no interest in walking away from it. She’s made it into a home for her regulars. There is a smoker chained to a tree out back that anyone can use and a makeshift fire pit made of cinder blocks.
