A FAREWELL TO MABLE PEABODY'S BEAUTY PARLOR AND CHAINSAW REPAIR — We Denton Do It

footage and terrible rumors Denton's legendary LGBTQ+ haven Mable Peabody's
Beauty Parlor & Chainsaw Repair was suddenly closing. Sunday was the secret
finale for this Grand Dame of Denton hangouts, whose quiet passing can only
be fully understood if we survey this venue's storied history from back in
the day.
