(Regina Lyn/DVtv) DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff WriterTaffet@DallasVoice.com Kathy Jack, who will long be remembered as the person who created Sue Ellen’s, retired from the bar’s parent company, Caven Enterprises, after a retirement party last Sunday, Jan.
19. Jack began her career at a women’s bar called The Unicorn located on Lemmon Avenue where Uncle Julio’s Mexican Restaurant has stood ever since.
She was there about four years until it closed. Jack’s next job was as door person at the Old Plantation on Cedar Springs Road where S4 now stands.
That dance bar closed the following January and was replaced by the second Village Station, which moved a block down the street from its original home, the building where Roy G’s is now.
