So cool...too bad, it's office towers and parking lots. now. GoogleEarthed the location.
In Will Hogg's 1929 City Planning Commission Report, Hare & Hare's advise on adopting a city plan to include zoning & parks, ..."the people of Houston and their officials will have to decide whether they are building a great city or merely a great population."

It is unfortunate that downtown lost its retail and residential core over time.
Does anyone remember another 'fun shop' that was on the east side of downtown until at least the early 1980s? They sold novelties, gag gifts etc.

The other downtown 'fun shop' I remember from the 70s was Archies. It was a newstand also. Is that the one you're thinking of Subdude?
