    Does anyone know what became of the movie theater that was once in Baybrook mall? I think there was a restaurant close to the theater, away from the food court. What became of that? Thanks for any info.

    Southmore Hospital was located on a street named Southmore. The hospital closed in 1999, it was sold to HCA who bought it and immediately closed it (they didn't want the competition). Pasadena General Hospital was located on Pasadena Blvd. I believe that street was once named Tatar. Pasadena General was renamed once or twice. I don't know if it has closed or not. Red Bluff Hospital was located near the intersection of Red Bluff and Pasadena Blvd. I don't remember when it closed.

    If memory serves me correctly, there was a Chi Chi's on 45 South in front of Baybrook mall. An Olive Garden later occupied the building when Chi Chi's closed. The Olive Garden is now on the opposite side of the street.

    Were there residential houses directly in front of MD Anderson hospital during the 70's? I remember a parking lot being in front of the hospital and the area I'm curious about would have been directly across the street from the parking lot.

    Thanks, FilioScotia, Do you happen to know if the new name caught on or was it still referred to by locals as Red Bluff hospital? I'm from Pasadena,but I cannot remember. I'm old enough to remember that Burkhalter was a controversial figure, but I was not aware of all of the details. Thanks again.

    Does anyone remember the name of the old hospital that used to sit close to the corner of Red Bluff and Pasadena Blvd.? People in Pasadena used to refer to it as the "horse hospital." Also, a Dr. Burkhalter used to practice there.

    The Fast and Cool Club in Rice Village was a fun place from the 1990s.

    On the Gulf Freeway feeder, near Fuqua, there is a Mexican restaurant called Las Haciendas. Directly in back, is or was a Fuddruckers.

    My brother and I were talking about that theater just the other day. We went to see Planet of the Apes at Parkview when it was first released. They had someone dressed in a gorilla suit standing in front of the door greeting customers. It scared the daylights out of my brother who was only 5 at the time. We still laugh at that, well maybe just me, I don't think he thinks it's funny. If memory serves me correctly, it was not a Twin cinema when it first opened. I don't think we went there much, it was cheaper to load up all the kids into the car and go to the drive-in. I think we used to go when it was $1 a carload. Now that was value!

    When we used to go visit my aunt and uncle in Denver Harbor we would pass through an area that my family called "El Crisol". I also had family that lived off of Liberty road, so it is possible we were going to visit them, I just can't say for sure. I remember the area had a funny smell, someone said it was creosote. I remember passing by some railroad tracks. I wish I could be more specific, but I was only 5 or 6. Could this be the "El Crisol" you are remembering? If so, start doing a backwards flip!

    Thanks for the information about the house. I got curious about it when I realized it was torn down. I wish I could have seen the inside of it. I would notice the house when my father would drive down Old Galveston Road. I was a young child then. I even recall a dream I had once, about going in the house. I was probably 6 or 7 yrs old when I had that dream. I guess I was curious about it even then. []

    I lived there in the 70's, but life was much the same as you described it from the 40's and 50's. I even went to Pine Tree Camp. We spent 3 weeks there just like you did. I worked there as a Jr. Counselor for 2 summers. How long did you live at Faith Home?
