Wow, ok... um... this site, being a place I've seen SEVERAL people recalling memories of places, stupid me for thinking that unless I went through a ridiculous amount of website creation and such just for something I see other people just posting replies on THIS site, then I shouldn't even bother. I just wanted some memories or what people know about the area during that time. Whatever story I'm writing that involves the area (maybe 1 chapter takes place there; that's it), is irrelevant. I just wanted to know what the area was like in 1971. That's it. I see people ask questions like this all the time. Why was mine so special? Why do I have to essentially create what I've already got RIGHT HERE and it's called houstonarchitecture.com? I've already written that part anyway, just wanted some clarification on some details, but forget it. It's totally not worth all that effort for essentially under 2,000 words. I love research and I love doing it, but getting people's personal accounts on things are sometimes the best part. But if I had to spend so much time and effort on a website and stuff whereas I could just have one or two people tell me some things HERE ON THIS SITE, then forget it. Not worth it. I'm not writing a non-fiction book on Houston in the 70's or anything. It's a time travel novel. That's it. Just a story. I have the one person I can ask about the area, who grew up there, and I think I'll just stick with that. I mentioned the acknowledgments so that people wouldn't think I was just taking their stories and running away with it. Like I said, I see people ask questions and get answers all the time. Do these people expect to get paid for their answers? Is that how this site works?
