  1. Don't forget the Sharpstown Drive-In Theater (near Bellaire Blvd. & Hillcroft), now an apartment complex.
  2. I experienced my first horse ride there. I remember a big red barn there too. I'll look for some pics on this. Thanks for the memory blast! Peace, EnviroMain And what was the name of the old stables on Westheimer (west side)? I rode a couple of times out there too sometime in the 70's. Does anyone have a picture of that?
  3. Which one? There has to be at least a dozen Fuddruckers in Houston. Good burgers!
  4. Chuck Wagon's hamburgers were the best! There was a Chuck Wagon Drive-In located near Bissonnet and Beachnut in the 70's. Good ole' mustard burgers!
  5. I remember it being only open for a year, if that long. I believe it closed it's doors in 1971 due to lack of customers. I remember seeing the biggest goldfish I had ever seen (~16"). Also you have to join or sign in, but here's a link to a video of the park (5th link down): http://www.sixflagshouston.com/videos/
  6. Wasn't the sneak preview of the movie held at the Sharpstown theater next to the mall? I remember there was a rumor that Kenny Rogers and Mickey Gilley were supposed to attend it.
  7. Found this currently listed on eBay. Genora's White Kitchen #2, 616 Main St. Thought you might like it.
  8. Notsuoh (Houston spelled backwards) in the early 1900's. You can find this photo at http://www.houstonian.freeservers.com/history/1900.htm.
  9. I found this photo at http://www.houstonhistory.com/poduct2/album3/jsalbum.html There it is referred to as the Inglenook, John Henry Kirby House, 2006 Smith Street at Pierce Avenue. It was originally built in 1893-94, remodeled 1807-1900, and then incorporated into a new house 1925.
  10. I remember that! Wow! In fact, if my memory serves me right, Weingartens provided color pictures for many space adventures following the first. I had 2 or 3 of those pictures at one time. The catch was that you could only obtain the pictures in the papers at Weingartens. Does anyone still have any of those?
  11. The other term for orphanage is orphan asylum. You just don't get it, do you Filio? My orphaned friends did not like the name of their housing units; coming from the source, I think that's a "given." ROYM is right to say that orphanage symbolizes "a place for a bunch of kids who's parents have died" - or - have been abandoned. Why do OUR living units get nice names ????
  12. I grew up in Sharpstown (apparently near an orphanage) and over the years from attending Sutton Elem., Jane Long JH, and SHS, I met quite a few aqaintenances. It sucks that they could not contact me after they were gone. Does anyone know what orphanage that might be? And by the way..........we ARE in the next century.....why haven't WE, (As The People) given this type of hopeful place a more respectable name? ~global
  13. Shhhhhh..................Just testing you to see if you knew what that meant...............
  14. Oh wow! You Rock! I'm also looking for some individual pics as well. Got any? PS - Thanks for that seriously!
