LeRoy Melcher Jr. died from lung cancer in 1981 at the age of 42. I'm guessing he was treated at MD Anderson, as I believe his mother Lucile was responsible for this fountain built in his memory. His father, LeRoy Sr., was the founder of the U-Tote-M chain of convenience stores.

I didn't realize there were any of those signs still in use. I'd be surprised if they were any older than the late 1960s/early 1970s. Fifty-odd years is a pretty good run for wooden signs exposed to harsh conditions like Houston summers and tropical storms, and this one's clearly seen better days.

Rabid, frothing hyperbole originating from highly questionable assumptions on Reddit? I can't believe it!

Houston Junior Forum Resale Shop - 1815 Rutland St.
mkultra25 replied to s3mh's topic in The Heights
That's quite a radical change. Wonder what drove the decision to relocate? I doubt it's financial, as they own the property on Rutland and they're a tax-exempt charitable entity. -
The "Satanic Panic" rears its horned head once again. I hope this isn't the advance guard for other ill-conceived notions from the 1980s making an unwelcome resurgence.

Agreed, particularly when loading pages with a large number of images.

Every time I see the name of this development, I think "gee, that's not a place I'd expect to see a gender reassignment clinic".- 25 replies

Fry's To Close All Stores Nationwide
mkultra25 replied to hindesky's topic in Houston Area Dining, Shopping and Entertainment
Interesting - they've got another store not very far away, on N. Victory. Wonder if this new one is intended to replace that one, or if they'll continue to operate both? The one on Victory always seems very busy with a full parking lot, so I think the area would have no trouble supporting an additional location. -
Best comment ever about that particular incident: "His name is Cortland Innegan, because he got the F beaten out of him".

I-10 Inner Katy Managed Lanes Project

I can't say I'm surprised. Remember, there are entire generations that have been born, lived, and died without ever knowing a time when the Gulf Freeway wasn't under construction somewhere. -
We need a building for our basket company
mkultra25 replied to hindesky's topic in Humor And Incidental Finds (HAIF)
I've always wanted to visit that building. The golden age of American roadside architecture may be long past, but it's apparently not completely dead. -
Cole Porter's lyric is the first thing I thought of as well. I'm starting to suspect that the target market for this hotel is either old, gay, or both.
