    I have seen that '44ish pic before on posts/threads out here in the past. I believe that was truly a popular race track back in the day around where Pershing Middle school is now.

    Bought my first albums at Evolution... Kiss... Black Sabbath.. Rush... lol Cactus brings back many memories of waiting in line for a day or two for concert tickets.... when they were sold the old fasioned way.... you waited in line and bought them.... no rigged system.... no instant scalping or holding back....... for like $8-10 a show.

    Stella Link and 610 where the discount tire is now there use to be a Jack N The Box Before Jack N Box there was a Bonanza Steak House. Got my first job there busting tables when I was about 16. The Bonanza building is still there I believe.... slightly north of 610 on Stella Link. I don't think it was in the exact same location as the JIB.

    Hell, our mascot was a Confederate Soldier.

    Prosperity Gospel is such a joke. I agree with you on "leaders" who take advantage of their flock. But I have absolutely no sympathy for the idiots who flock. I know smart people.. intelligent people.... successful people..... then one day I hear about what pastor or preacher or church they follow.... and I literally lose all respect for them. I just don't get it. I do my best to prevent myself from knowing who or what anyone follows or believes in..... because I might end up losing all respect for them as a person. If I look up to you as the V.P. of my company.... then find out you follow Benny Hinn, John Hagee or the DayStar Network..... then... sorry.... I think you are a complete fool and I lost all respect for you. Anyway, so do you think that anyone who believes in and supported the Bush Doctrine has the right to any opinion on the new Obama Doctrine? (I don't). Praise Jayzus!

    Jayzus is the easy way out and the explanation for all things. Pray for someone sick and he/she dies, then Jayzus wanted a new soldier in heaven. Pray for someone sick and he/she recovers, then Jayzus answered your prayers. In a nutshell, Christianity (aka "Jayzus Punch") is a no-lose religion.

    I love telling people that folks used to smoke weed, women used to show their bombs on the big screen, and people got completely wasted in Joel's "Church".

    The slab was still there about a year ago. We hit it with a metal detector and found a few very old coins. That pic from the other thread does not look like this property. There has never been new development on this old Meyer estate land. The dug it all up, filled it with water, and who knows what now.... it was supposed to be a park, but looks like nothing but a big water hole of sorts. There are older threads out here with aerial views and lengthy discussions.

    Cody's.... New Years Eve... '87... '88... sometime around then..... randy, will, tony and the boys.... and the rick's women of course...
  11. spiderroller
    Great. I give it 5 years. Will they have metal detectors at every entrance? Will they have a permanent carnival in the parking lot?

    In no particular order: 1. Cooters 2. Ocean Club 3. Club Proteus 4. Yucatan Liquor Stand 5. Astros 1986 Pennant (& specifically the Mike Scott clinching no-hitter) 6. Club 6400 7. Fizz 8. Confetti 9. Piranha Room/Roxy/R&R Bar.... i.e. every bar at this location in the 80s. 10. Metropole 11. Rick's Caberet That was quick.. and sorry... needed 11..... considering Rick's was such a standout during the 80s......could probably come up with another 10....

    Meyer's Speedway was on the SE corner of South Main and Hillcroft. Not near Playland Park. And further West than Holmes Road outside of the 610 Loop. Remnants are still there as the only thing done with it over the years was a golf range at times.

    Actually, Cowboy was at Sage and Alabama. Not across from Cooters, but down the street (sort of). Cowboy in the 70s was followed by... in no particular order..... Confetti, Pirhana Room, Rockz, R&R Bar.... and at least another 4-5 names.

    Cooter's had way more than 15 minutes of fame. It lasted longer than almost every other club in the city of Houston. After it shut it's doors, there was another Cooter's still open at 45 and Edgebrook. They were never even remotely the same. Cooter's at Windsor Plaza was a Butt Hutt - outside of the Ocean Club, Cooter's was about the best place to meet women in the 80s.
