  1. .....the "Sound of Music" played at the Alabama theatre for over a year!
  2. I believe Chris Chandler was related to a character actor named Chick Chandler. I remember as a kid seeing him in a TV show called Soldier of Fortune (1955).
  3. Prince's were very good...I remember that location well. The big splurge was the Fried Shrimp Basket, I think it cost all of $2.75.
  4. Used to go to the one on OST in the '60s....Wheel Burgers, Hub Burgers and Spoke Dogs!
  5. .....my wife and I saw Townes Van Zandt at Sand Mountain on a date in 1965. It was on Richmond, just a few blocks west of Montrose.
  6. PS - I attended the Rock Jubilee in 1969 in Houston, not the International Pop Festival in Lewisville.
  7. Also attended the 1969 "International Pop Festival".....and also saw Savoy Brown a few years later at the Music Hall.
  8. My wife and I had dinner there on our first wedding anniversary in 1968......
  9. Ari's G. was on Westheimer....did it move to Memorial??
  10. We used to go to World Toys to buy Madame Alexander dolls for our little girl in the early seventies.
  11. ....and you could usually find something worth watching....today with 200+ channels you can't find anything worth watching!
  12. I'm sure it's been mentioned in this thread before, but Weldon's was a great cafeteria.....
  13. I think you miss the point. Local and family owned for me means just that, in a local community, family owned and run, with typically one location.. Operating philosophy is a part of it, but I contend that a local family owned and run business is more likely to focus on personal customer service than a multi-location, corporate entity....of course exceptions prove the rule. Family control of Wal-Mart, or BMW, or Mars candy, etc. is besides the point.
  14. Being local and family owned was a big part of it......
  15. There is at least one Der Wienerschnitzel still in Dallas......
  16. It was Sam Houston Airport...checkout the following website, "Abandoned and Little-Known Airfields". http://www.members.tripod.com/airfields_freeman/TX/Airfields_TX_HoustonS.htm
  17. .......you learn to appreciated attic fans and all your windows open at night!
  18. The trees certainly reminds one of Herman Park......
  19. If any exist in the area they would most likely be in Galveston......
