    Hey I live in Texas and work in Arkansas currently. I know what good Mexican food is and people north of Dallas have a whole different concept what Mexican food actually is. In other words, I refuse to consume a cheese enchilada with white gravy or something other than enchilada sauce or chile. I'm back working in Texas in two weeks and trust me, it's been 3 months too long since I have had some good fixins'. You'll find me at my favorite Mexican Restaurant sipping a true Margarita and eating like royalty after being without!

    I'm starting to think we're the only one's that remember Farrell's. I'm really surprise because there was usually a line to get in. I had a birthday there once and they made a really big deal to make noise with drums and whistles and singing for my birthday. I had never had that much attention in public in my entire life. Farrell's made me feel special that day!

    Two Pesos? Taco Cabana bought the Two Pesos stores in Houston. I don't remember a Del Taco in Houston. I know they are just about everywhere, but Texas though. I went to one last year in California!

    I remember the very first time I discovered Farrell

    Purple People Eater, not to be confused with "portable people meter." PPE is personal protective equipment in my line of work. That might have been handy when the purple people eater was striking victims! I remember that story in the news back in the day, but am unable to locate any information via internet. I'm sure someone out there can track something down.

    I appreciate your concern with humanity, but your not seeing the big picture. If we do not take care of the only planet we have then humanity is destined to suffer because of it. Everything that harm's our environment "for the environment's sake", effects human health eventually. I could go on and on about primary, secondary, and tertiary pollution and the outcomes, but it's a big, big picture with us humans in it and there is definitely not enough space to discuss this in a blog. It took me 7 years of college education for me to absorb the information I know, including our government's disconcern such as yours. Take care.

    Obviously. I wouldn't let too many people know that if I were you.

    Sounds to me that you kicked yourself on those statements! If you are so concerned about our environment, then why aren't you doing things to resolve your and our problems. Why would you want to gripe at the people that are on your on your side?? I make a small living trying to "save this planet" and I love my job and the hard work I put into it so I can makes things happen. I'm not a tree hugger (yet) but a scientist I am. Peace and Reality!

    I haven't been by there in years. Need to check out the additions. If you went to scout meetings there in the 70's, you probably knew my brother and my father (one of the old crabs). My brother and I went to Sutton, Jane Long, & Sharpstown High so we were right there in that area. Been to the Baptist Church there too. It's been years though.

    Does anybody here attend the church in reference? It is now United, but when I was baptised there it was pretty basic. I noticed a building in the area of the former playground where we played. I was baptised in 1970. Was in MYF and sang in the chior. I have so many memories connected to this church.

    Is it me or my computer because I am unable to see the picture. Did anyone save the pic? I would like to see the topic here. Thanks.

    Didn't they air from Channel 13 sometimes?

    It was most likely Ron Stone, Jr. then. Thanks!
  14. enviromain
    It might have been. I'm not certain though. They were both newscasters weren't they?

    No that riot did not cause Lee to go downhill. It's the surrounding apartments in the Flea Market area that feed into that school. The last time I was there, it was not a good place to be at night! Did you know that Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) graduated from Lee? Ron Stone, as well.

    Yep, I was born in the 60's and raised in the 70's. Back then we were told never to buy tatoos from anyone and I remember grown people trying to talk us into it on the way to school. I only remember one chick from our school that died from an LSD or acid tatoo. That was enough for me not to get one of those phycodelic things! I grew up in bell bottoms and hair long enough to sit on. Some great music came from the seventies decade though. Fifty percent of my current listening music is from the 70's. And the flower power was awesome. It's trying to come back, but it will never be the same. You just had to be there. Rock on!

    Are you talking about George Meyers property? If so, is this separate from the 6000 acres he subdivided?

    Was it behind another business or restaurant? I think that's the one I used to go to. I had a cheddar cheese Makaha (old style). I had put a 7-11 foot sticker right where my foot belonged. I was pretty good back in the day, 360's, the walk, catamaran, up and down curved walls, etc. We thought we were the best at this stuff. Of, course the younger generation showed us a new way to skate that I would have never even attempted back then. Funny.

    There was an oriental restaurant accross the street from the Globe on Bellaire and Hillcroft. The name of the restaurant was the Mongolian Barbeque. I had my first fortune cookie there. Sharpstown Drive-In Theater was behind the restaurant. Years later they tore down the restaurant and put up a shopping center with a Safeway grocery store in it. Casa Ole was located there in the 1980's as well.

    Your kidding! An urban legend.....I thought this case hit nationaly news. You would think so anyway. How about that media?

    I think fireworks displays are absolutely beautiful. However, the primary chemicals used to make them are terrible for our environment. And the secondary the air pollution and heavy metals fallout caused by them is even worse for our environment and us as well.

    When I played basketball, our team used to stop at a Shakey's Pizza after a win. We played at Butler stadium and I think the Shakey's was in a small shopping center near Fondren and Braeswood. I was working in Riverside, CA last year and did you know they still have a Shakey's Pizza there? The sign is pretty old, but the students at the University there go there a lot.

    Thanks Sandy! Great information. I was raised in Sharpstown during the 70's. Went to Sutton Elem., Jane Long JR., and Sharpstown SR. High. My grandmother lived on Lake in West U. I actually live in San Antonio, but travel back time to time to see relatives and friends. I'm working in Little Rock, AR right now.
