I had totally forgotten about Salvo...

Some interesting reading - proposals for redeveloping Park Place Methodist campus... http://www.servantsnow.org/templates/Syste...&PID=655076

FYI - (you may know this, but not everyone does) - many search sites (e.g., Orbitz, Travelocity) do not show the prices for Southwest - as Southwest does not utilize them. So - depending on the search you are doing - you may have to visit southwest.com directly in order to see how Southwest compares.

I have emailed a potential contact who might know where those archives are.

Hey - I used to be at that church in the late 80s. The sanctuary at the corner of Fulton and Link was built in the late 1930's. The history of the congregation - however - goes back to 1887 - I know that because we celebrated our centennial in 1987. At one time, the name of the church was St. Luke's Methodist. (Unrelated to the big St. Luke's on Westheimer.) The name was changed as a tribute to the Reid family at the time of the sanctuary construction. If I am not mistaken, the church originally went by the name of White Oak. This was when this was open country - "a long way from Houston." We used to have some pictures of the little white building - in the same location - it looked very rural. I have some vague recollections about the cemetery....but nothing for sure. Recently the original congregation has dwindled and it merged with a Spanish-speaking congregation - also United Methodist - that now comprises the bulk of the membership. Thus it is likely that few of the present leaders will have much information about the building's history.

I love the seventies mix music I often hear at the 99 Cents Only store - often I find myself singing out loud as I scoop up the bargains!

I believe that used to be 69th St. (running one-way parallel to Wayside). If Will Clayton had retained the name "Jet Era Blvd." perhaps it could now could have been renamed "Regional Jet Era Blvd."

No wonder people get confused!

Actually I'm 99% certain it was ROMANA (no 's) and not ROMANO'S - though it seemed like the majority of folks pronounced it that way!

Great memory Susan....thanks for starting this thread!

Or maybe they will! http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/busine...ff/4914289.html

Back in the pre-Internet days, I ordered a copy of the state of Texas school demographics. I still have the copy - it has all campuses in the state - it was around 1988 or so, I believe. It is very interesting to see how things have changed in 20 years. If you need a stat for a few campuses I can probably look 'em up!

Or does someone want to buy it... ...it is a way cool building - but it is hard to see a large office building prospering in that location...

An article in last week's Pasadena Citizen... Building may become victim of progress By:JENNIFER BRANCH, Citizen Reporter 04/21/2006 According to Pasadena Mayor John Manlove, Pasadena is gearing up for revitalization. Part of this revitalization, said Manlove, will possibly come in the form of destruction. http://www.hcnonline.com/site/news.cfm?new...id=532238&rfi=6
