There are all sorts of theories how Clyde Barrow met Bonnie Parker, friends hooked them up-he was in jail with her husband and he met her through him, etc but I think that he met her when she was working at a diner on Swiss Circle. See in 1930 he was arrested for some crime and he noted that he lived at 601 Liberty in Dallas and it turns out that Bonnie worked at Hargrave's Cafe that was about 6 blocks down the street. Clyde also worked at several jobs in the area-walking distance of no more then 8 blocks- and this cafe was nearby for a working bachelor with a small room/apt rented to get dinner at.
So did Bonnie meet Clyde over a Blue Plate Special?
Has anyone found the actual time frame that she worked at Hargrave's? (BTW the building is still standing in Dallas while the place where Clyde lived may or may not be the same since several period buildings were moved onto the street in the 1980's).

Bonnie was visiting a friend in 1930 in West Dallas and it was here she met Clyde or so some say.
There is some disagreement over how Bonnie and Clyde first met, but the most prevalent story is that it was through Clyde's friend Clarence Clay. In another account, they met when he visited one of her girlfriends, who sent him to the kitchen to meet "a nice girl." All stories agree on one thing: it was love at first sight for them both.

I believe that Clyde did indeed meet Bonnie in a diner.
