  1. Yep, that photo is sweet. Thanks for posting. One of the better ones I've seen aside from the one in the Chronical article.
  2. What happened to Sparky? Is she still around? Did you have trouble attaching your photo? Was it the same one Sparkey posted a while back?
  3. Toddle Houses in 1973. Thought there would have been more than that at that time, but this is all I found in the directory. 701 Elgin 4321 Montrose 3330 Richmond 9101 Main At the same time, there were the following Dobb's Houses: 2800 Terminal Rd - A & B 3515 Westheimer 4908 San Felipe 4802 Richmond 8611 Memorial Dr 4331 Old Spanish Trail 2319 W Holcombe 7895 Hillcroft 4005 N Braeswood 7905 Long Point
  4. Great to hear from you DMANGRIFF. Where in Fort Bend county did the demo guy live? Do you know of the other indian would be visible on their property?
  5. There was a Mexican restaurant in there in the 70s/80s: El Fenix.
  6. WOW! Where did you get these!?? Great photos. Who else do you have that played there?
  7. By the way terrbo, what was the book you purchased at Half Priced Books? A book on matchbook collecting?
  8. I guess they all closed down. I know Alfred's closed. But I believe his son operates a very similar deli in the Rice Village and has photos of his dad's old place. I'm sure the answers are somewhere on this board. Would be a lot faster just to tell you if I knew.
  9. The sports car ride, if I remember correctly was called Spin Out. Several years ago, before Astroworld had even closed down, someone in Sealy Tx was selling the fibreglass bodies from two of the Spin Out cars. They were quite large; in the 6' long range. The two car bodies ended up selling for something like $20! I considered bidding on them, but what do you do with something like that?!
  10. That would be awesome to see!! Can you post it somewhere?
  11. Trader Vics or the Poly-Asian. There are threads here about those two restaurants with pics.
  12. Wow, Sparky, fascinating post! Can't wait to read more and see some of those pictures. Thanks for taking the time to post.
  13. Here's Valian, across from the Shamrock. That particular Valian's looks like the building that was also the home of Sivil's Drive In and also one other drive-in that I am forgetting at the moment.... is that right?
  14. Fantastic effort 57TBird!! Fascinating to be able to better visualize where everything was!
  15. Awesome pic, Heights! What happened to this request? Did anyone answer? Sounds like a different Indian - would be cool to reunite them! Bill Williams Indian Pic Needed
  16. Sorry Heights, I've never seen a picture of the Indians. I have several menus, postcards and matchbooks, but no pic of the Indians.
  17. TexAzGal: Warning! View the following photo with the lights on!
  18. Wow, fantastic photo! Would someone mind posting an editing version of this photo showing the various landmarks than can be identified? That would be really cool. I always have a hard time figuring out what's what on these aerial photos...
