a huge part of my early 20s living in SA! Wednesday nights were electric there!

[@katough]

the live shows were so different. lifting and fun. no club compares.

I remember going there when I was young on Wednesday Nights (Straight Night, is what they used to call it on Wednesdays back in 1988). First dance club I ever went to. The place was electrifying. The crowd was awesome and everyone was just there to have a great time. I went back later in my late 20's and the place did not disappoint! Music was always on cue there to let my inner dance demon out!

I have met the world's greatest guy and lover from this club being that I am a San Antonian native. God blessed me when he gave me Marco A. Carrillo. I love and miss you babe and thank God for us. Dwell In Heaven love. Mwah! Angel kisses forever!

Brings back a lot of memories....I was stationed at Brooks AFB in the late 80s to early 90s and would go to the BX every weekend. A lot of great memories of that night club.

[@ahotdj07]

I thought they would talk more about the history of the building - like when it was first erected and what it was used for, etc.

[@ahotdj07]

I like it when KSAQ (radio station) would broadcast live on the weekend at the club.

[@katough]

I Met Gene Elder. One of my most precious memories. such a kind loving person.

I love love LOVE the Bonham!

[@ahotdj07]

I remember getting TWIT when I would go out clubbing. TWIT was This Week in Texas.

KSAT HAS NO IDEA WHAT BONHAM WAS....THIS IS THE WORST REPORT IVE EVER SEEN

[@katough]

can't blame them for missing out on the 90s.
