If the saga of Top O’ Hill Casino becoming Arlington Baptist College were written as fiction, readers would dismiss it as improbable and impossible. The story of a tearoom evolving into the gambling hot spot of North Central Texas that was then acquired by a fiery gospel preacher, who foretold its transformation into a Baptist seminary and ultimately an accredited Bible college, is stranger than fiction yet absolutely true. The rich and famous enjoyed rubbing shoulders with the mysterious and notoriously infamous, and if large amounts of money were involved, so much the better. Stir in fabulous racehorses, flashy stage and screen stars, singers, dancers, well-known bandleaders and bands, and the tale becomes enthralling.

Colorful local history
By Kandy Kay Scaramuzzo
I actually found this book in a drug store as an impulse buy. I bought it for my husband who is a big history buff. I thought he would get a kick out of the story. It is a great book about local history and includes many interesting facts and pictures. I was vaguely aware of the sordid history of the Baptist college, but I had no idea that it was as famous as it was back in the day.
The only problem I had with the book was the price. It cost me 23.00 dollars. I thought that was a bit high for a small paperback. I have since found it on amazon for less that eleven dollars so I really don't understand the price gouging for the locals.

Don the Baptist
By Don the Baptist
A Bible-based review by Don the Baptist of the text “Top O’ Hill Terrace” by Vickie Bryant and Camille Hess. I read the text in its entirety.
[Note: I obtained my copy of this work during a visit to the site. This is one of very few books which I own that did not – in some fashion – originate from Amazon.]
This book will appeal to a variety of readers. Baptists first, gambling historians next, and anyone interested in the history of some of Texas’ most colorful residents will likely be pleased by this work of history.
Weighing in at a scant 128 pages this text will take very little time to read, as the story is told largely by pictures. The pictures, on the other hand, are another matter. Considerable time may be spent reviewing the historic photographs and reading the accompanying text of each.
Having lived in Arlington, Texas, I am familiar with much of the history of the Top O’ Hill and the Arlington Baptist College (the current occupant of the Hill). I offer two brief stories/illustrations.
One particular event, not included in the text, is of Fred Browning himself, a casino owner with a heart. Upon one exceptionally dismal evening when “Lady-Luck” had simply abandoned one un-named gambler, said gambler saw fit to wager the family homestead. This too was promptly lost to the casino. As the story (or “legend” if you prefer) goes, Browning – in turn – deeded the home to the gambler’s wife, at no charge, and banned the gambler from ever returning to the Hill. Nonetheless, having a heart did not save Browning from dying penniless, and sadly, his wife suffered a similar fate.
Galatians 6:7, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
[Note: I am a Baptist evangelist. This will never change. Nonetheless, there is one curiosity that is somewhat uniquely Baptist to which I do not subscribe. None of this should be considered as a critique of the text; rather, the following comments are a critique of Baptists who subscribe to the particular ideology addressed.]
Compare the lower picture on page 97 of the ragged out old clunker trekking across the country to get to Bible-School with the pictures on pages 96, 101, 102, 109, etc. of the fresh-faced Bible-students all wearing suits and ties prepared to study God’s words. Can you imagine the surprise of the “clunker-pilot” and crew when they arrived at school and learn that they had to pony-up enough cash for suits, dress shirts, and shiny black shoes? Remember, they did not even have cash on-board for a jug of brake fluid.
In Honduras, my place of residence, I have preached redemption through the shed blood of Jesus Christ while I was wearing a dusty pull-over shirt. (I think they are called polo shirts, but I do not play polo, and I am not exactly sure what polo is.)
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is equally effective whether dressed in the best of Hugo Boss or the markdown bin at Walmart. Matthew 3:4, “And the same John [the Baptist] had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.” [brackets and insert added for clarity]
Nonetheless, I have digressed.
Buy the book. Visit the school. See all of the cool stuff that Vickie Bryant et.al. have accumulated. (Call first; I do not know the schedule of the tours.)
