  1. Do you remember Johnny's Hamburger House near the 7/11?
  2. In regard to the Hitchin' Post thread below, there was also a Hitchin' Post eatery on Bissonett & Bonhomme for a few years in the late 60's--this later became a hangout called Chubby Chucks..curious if anyone has recall on either of these!
  3. There was also an ARCO station on the corner--I remember Dad giving me 50 cents & I'd walk down there & fill up the gas can for the lawn mower & had money left over for an ICEE next door..hey do you remember the guy that always wore a hard hat that seemed to be at the Handee Mart everytime I came in? Nice guy but can't remember his name. I think I did start that thread a while back--it's pretty cool to see pics whenever someone posts them..for some reason my computer won't load Googlr Rarth
  4. I've got pictures of the old Abercrombie house before they tore it down to make way for the Kroger in 1977--I'll post as soon as I can get my scanner working. We used to ride motorcycles on the bayou bluff right by there--I actually remember when the school bus from Bonham would drop off one of the daughters there in the mid 60's..she was prbly in the 6th grade at the time..they had a cellar that was kind of a creepy hideout long after they moved out..Anyone remember the Handee Food Mart right across the street?
  5. I remember the old general store & barber shop that used to be on Old Westheimer --I'm sure thats gone now!
  6. Anything left structure-wise? Looks like that east-west road covers what could've been the track
  7. I went to college w/Tom at SHSU back in the late 70's--tragic story and I know he'll be missed!
  8. still one of the most all time recognizible themes ---would make a great ringtone!
  9. it was definitely General Cinema--i can well remember the old "movie reel" opening that they used before each movie started...wonder if youtube has this opening anywhere?
  10. [For awhile there was the Hitchin' Post on Bissonet and Bonhomme
  11. That looks like it was painted with that temper paint we used in elementary school
  12. Sorry--should've said it was the actual truck used in the movie..pretty cool too, they let people climb up in the cab
  13. That's pretty cool--does it include drive-ins or just indoor?
  14. I remember seeing "White Line Fever" @McClendon Triple in '75 and they had the cab over used in the movie on display
  15. I remember an ill fated "Elvis Tribute" @the Capittan in Jan 1978--they show a movie and one or two impersonators and charged a fortune to get in
  16. You & I must've had the same job because that fit my descripition as well!!!
  17. I used to work @Chuc Wagun on Bissonnet back in 72-73 for the one & thank God only Richard Warren (yep--remember his name after all these years...some restaurant mangaers will do that to you) for the whopping amount of $1 an hour---wow! and no 401K's back then! But I did like the food & the neon sign out front was really cool
  18. Hey's here's a couple more--there was an old cemetery near Keegan's & Brays Bayou that probably was lost in all the development 25 years ago...also one near Stafford Rd I believe was called Cravens. Any rememberances?
  19. Kudos to Subdude for the link! Speaking of Mexican--are any of the Los Tios restraunts still around? I used to work as a busboy at the one off Fondren & Bissonnet back in '75
  20. Wait--I think think the name of the place I'm thinking about was Jamil's on the NE corner of Gessner & SW Fwy!
  21. I definitely remember Yamin's--great pizza bread! I used to work @Film N Photos right across from it!
  22. It's always funny how the papers back then would put the person's name AND address in the article--could you imagine that now? It'd probably land a lawsuit!
  23. I don't mean to break the thread by talking about pharmacies but is the old Yale Drugs still around? I think that used to be in the Village
  24. [Would that be the Jones Apothicary (sp.) Shoppes once located around town? I remember one @Bellaire & Bissonnet
