  1. For a long time there were two Dillard's in Baybrook Mall. I hated it. Two of anything in one place is one two many...or sometimes, two too many!
  2. Christies was my favorite. Can't go all the way down to Westheimer and pay nine prices for their shrimp. But it was the best back in the day.,
  3. I talked to my Mom - who is 83. She thinks that I was on quite regularly from 1958-1965. My signature outfit was a red cowgirl outfit with white fringe. One of the songs that I sang was "Ragtime Cowboy Joe" but neither one of us can remember any other songs I sang. My name was Bonnie Sue James. I would appreciate anything you could do to help me find at least one of my performances. My teenage sons would laugh - and maybe be a little proud of their Mom. As I've stated before, I loved your Dad so much. He was a very, very sweet man - a good person.
  4. Did everyone who was contributing to this thread fall off the face of the earth???? Where did everybody go?????
  5. Thanks so much. I was 18 months old in the beginning, I do know that, but I am having trouble remembering exactly how long I sang on his show. I know that we went to Beaumont - no idea how many times. Thanks so much for all your effort about these tapes. Your Dad meant a lot to me - to many, many people. I am sure that you are a lot like him. B
  6. Back to the tapes or DVRs - how far back do they go? Are there any from Beaumont - because I travelled to appear there, too. We are probably talking 1958 to 1968 - maybe.
  7. I love the pictures!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!! You made my day!
  8. I cannot believe it!!! I tried to email you, but for some reason, I couldn't, so everyone has to read this. Sorry, all. Your Dad "discovered" me when I was 18 months old, going through Playhouse toy store singing "Sugar in the Morning". He didn't realize how old I was until Jeanna Clare told him - so he referred my Mom to Mildren Franz school of voice and whatever it was. I was on his show many times, even went to Beaumont to do it there. I absolutely loved your father and mourned at his passing. He was a big part of my life - even got me an audition for "To Kill A Mockingbird" and I got to sit on Gregory Peck's lap. I tried out for the part of Scout, but was too young. If you can email me, please do so. So nice to make your cyber acquaintance.
  9. The reason that I am "bitchin'" as you so crudely put it, is because Tilman came in and bought out quite a few businesses that were originals - not his corporate stamped, mediocre food Kemah-esque restaurants and hotels. Hate him. Period.
  10. This is SO incorrect. Showbiz has NOTHING to do with MRI. MRI was started by Larry Forehand. Our food is wonderful. We have excellent quality and excellent foods. Don't listen to stupid people who are mis-informed.
  11. He is bringing mediocre food and just ghastly architecture there. Galveston should be its own unique place. Not Kemah, the sequal!
  12. Fertitta comes into a place like Galveston and tries to buy up every hotel and restaurant on the island. He didn't get ours. He can go to hell. I hate him and all that he stands for. He turns out crap and expects us to think its a big deal. Quality, Tillman, not quantity. Damn. OH PLEASE! You've been reading his ____, haven't you?
  13. I wish Frittata had never heard of Galveston or Kemah. He is RUINING our area. Anyone have an Uncle Guido we could call on?????
  14. Vogue Margo's Lamode 1-3-5 Beall's Newberry's Grahams Men and Boy's (worked there in Gulfgate for over 5 years seasonal) Playhouse Toys National Shirt Shop (worked there, too) I went to school with Barbara Hurlburt. What about her mom living under a bridge???
  15. In my younger days (1960's), my mom's boss lived on Laurel Drive. His best friends lived across the street - two houses, two different families, and they were both gorgeous homes. I would like to go there to see what everything looks like. I wonder how much it has changed. Anyone else remember the "This House Is Not For Sale" signs? In the 60's, the neighborhood was full of them.
  16. Iceland is the skating rink that my uncle owned! It's still there! Wow! I graduated from U of H and rever realized it was there. I learned that I couldn't ice skat at Iceland - no coordination!
  17. I attended Park Place Elementary in 1965. Then Deady, then Milby. Graduated from U of H.
  18. It is now a Pawn shop right next to Kelly's. Lang's Pharmacy was where Kelly's is, but I am pretty sure that was AFTER Weingarten's left. I lived in Park Place from 1956-1982. My Mom still lives there. I am there every day!
  19. I remember Palm Center - Walter Pye's also carried clothes for women and children. Between Walter Pye's and Leder's Tot and Teen (and Sakowitz in Gulfgate) I had clothes! There was also a Playhouse Toys in there - the only big toy store in this area at the time - and a man with a Popcorn Cart outside. If I was good, I got popcorn! I imagine I spent the majority of my Saturdays shopping with my Mom at Glove, Sage, Palm Center or Gulfgate. There was also the trip to Weingarten's for groceries (ours was on Park Place Blvd. Wow. I need to go rest now. I am an old woman!!!!!
  20. Can't someone help me research this????? It was a beautiful mansion. Seriously. Someone? Somewhere?
