    Does the rodeo use the Astrodome? The Astrodome would be a great botanical garden.

    My guess would be Mamacitas, but it wasn't next door to Fuddruckers. The wind was from the south that day.
  3. brhaltx
    But how was the weather?
  4. brhaltx
    That may be why I don't recognize it; the surroundings have changed, and I don't get to that area very often.

    I don't think the tornado watch will help. I don't know how long the Fuddruckers on NASA Road 1 has been there. Maybe someone can pull up a list of late 1990s Fudduckers locations... I'm sure some of them have been closed.

    Not necessarily, but it did have a ceiling.

    Immediately next door, or just close by? On the highway, or just close by?

    What is "savage style" fried chicken?

    Would that be the topic(s) about orphanages?

    Build it and they will come.

    The building is valued at $42,556, but the land is valued at $5,175,000. That's $0.21 per square foot of building, but $46.00 per square foot of land.

    They probably found the bunker beneath the building.

    Hmmm, I thought the Lone Star dealerships had all closed (due to bankruptcy), and I'm pretty sure the Lone Star Ford location is/was empty for a couple of years. But, I heard a commercial for Lone Start Ford, just south of Beltway 8 (on I-45) this afternoon.

    Lone Star Ford is long gone (as are all of the Lone Star dealerships, I think). I'll have to pay attention the next time I'm driving by doing 70; is the building gone now?

    Somebody asked about the Tommy Vaughn sign; it may have been in another thread. It's still there, but I don't think I've ever seen it rotate. I'm not sure if they even light it. I'm not in that area after dark very often.

    I drove by the Ivy Russell building at Yale/11th today; besides Lola, there's a vitamin place and a fitness place, and room for more.
  17. brhaltx
    Lola and more; there are 3 or 4 businesses in that building.

    There were hills in the background of that "sunken highway" that sort of looked like 59... The one with the apartment complex. The hilsl almost look like buildings if you don't look closely.

    The street scenes weren't in Houston... Did you notice the hills in the background?

    I talked to my friend; he remembers the building, and his family was living on Craighead at the time of the fire. He says someone was trying to save the building at the time it burned down. He didn't have much else to say about it otherwise. The family sitll owns land on Craighead. He says that the casino property is owned by Rice, and the current building is a Rice data center. (HCAD lists it as belonging to a company in New York.)

    I have friends who live on Craighead; maybe even at the time of the fire. I'll have to ask about it. Maybe they started the fire.

    There were grain silos on Memorial, between Memorial and Washington. Between the cemetary and Studemont, I think.

    They had good burgers... The body shop was already there; it occupied the back part of the building.
