  1. I've been told of a burger joint near this intersection at least in the mid-60's. Anyone remember any details of the place?
  2. Nah, I wasn't worried about how often it was getting replies. I know how slow forums can be. I gotta say though, this site has pretty good traffic compared to most these days, really. I was just hoping for anyone who knew anything about the area in the late 60's/early 70's
  3. 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?
  4. I'm currently writing a story involving places in or around the FM 1960 and Kuykendahl intersection near I-45 in North Houston/Spring in 1970-1971. Absolutely anything anyone can remember or direct me to would be helpful, especially any good ol' Ma & Pa burger joints near there. I've been told already by someone who lived there that there was a burger place on Kuylendahl between FM 1960 and I-45 that was there around 1963-65. Any pictures would be amazing and I'd love you forever. I've been reading lots of stuff on this site and I can't believe I found such an awesome place online! I can't wait to acknowledge this site in the book, if such a book ever happens. Thank you!
