  1. The factory was torn down long ago, but this monument still stands commemorating a perfect safety record at the Trinity Portland Cement Company in 1929, just as The Great Depression was starting. Inscriptions were added to commemorate perfect safety records in 1945, 1947, and 1950. There's a geocache very close by, if you're a cacher. It's at the corner of N Hutcheson and Freund, near 600 N York. http://i.imgur.com/vt3wo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/YDQPf.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uEOlb.jpg http://i.imgur.com/K5mu9.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qxBvx.jpg

  4. Between '73 and '75 or 6, one of my sisters lived in 2 different small apartment complexes on Golfcrest. She worked at Frito Lay at the time. I was not too observant back then and I don't remember your family house but when she moved over to Wayside several years later, I do remember that she lived next to an old plantation style home on Wayside. Turns out it was the Simms place. The apartments are still there at 1010 S. Wayside and have recently been renovated.

  7. Sorry this is an old thread but I had to post. I was just thinking about the Galvez Mall last night. I'm 37 so the mall was still open around the time I started High School. The map is pretty acurate. The book store was located straight back from the main enterance. I remember they used to put up a Christmas display in front of it every year. It seems like across from the book store there was a little place where they served coffee or something, I can't quiet remember. There was a music shop directly opposite of the pizza place, I don't remember the name or if it was something else before. Across from Bealls they had a hair salon, I used to get my hair cuts there. I remember my mom used to work at Bealls. I once threw up in Wyatt's Cafertia haha. Skippy from Family Ties once signed autographs at the mall. I can remember playing Dragon's Lair and Rampage in the Arcade. I remember seeing The Empire Strikes Back at the Movie theater. So many memories.
