  1. "Comedy clubs" weren't really a thing till the 80s.
  2. The building burned down about 10 years ago. There was another hotel there, not sure how long it was a Ramada.
  3. AEW Wrestling coming to the Epicenter on October 18th. Live telecast on TBS. Looks like a great place for minor league hockey and/or arena football.
  4. Looks downright rural. Is that Bellaire Blvd. toward the end of the film? Is that HS football stadium on the same site as the current stadium?
  5. There was a barber shop in the lobby frequented by Dr, Neil Frank.
  6. Did it have one of the famous Holiday Inn signs?
  7. The founder of Ron's Krispy Fried Chicken was a KFC franchisee, and he's still in the food business. https://ronsfoods.com/rons-story/
  8. Historic Aerials has an "E" shaped building on the site in 1953, 1957 and 1958, and what looks to be the current Fondren Elementary from 1962 forward. Full Disclosure: I work down the street. It's an interesting mix of industrial/warehouse, relatively new duplexes, a trailer park and old houses.
  9. The current yellow lot at NRG. There were no-tell motels all along South Main by the dome, I think they shut down sometime in the 80s.
  10. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (around 1975 actually), the summer day camp I was in used to go to a movie at the old Meyerland Theatre (usually a Don Knotts-era Disney movie), then to Hager park. I remember the indoor basketball court.
  11. Or a chase scene like the Blues Brothers. Of course that particular mall sat abandoned for over 30 years before finally being demolished about 10 years ago. Add West Oaks to that list. With the theatre closing, there's literally nothing there except the Fortis School.
  12. The same publisher has a book about Sugar Land that's sold at my local Walgreens.
  13. The "new" Imperial Sugar headquarters was later built at that intersection, it's now an empty parking lot and staging area for railroad construction.
