There were also radio studios in the building, the old KAUM/97 Rock had studios there.

A few years ago I ran across a local hip-hop act with a "song" called "56 Airline" (the Metro route from Aldine/Greenspoint to downtown). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXEnJf4SgJk Greenridge north represent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKY44B7WMHc (Both videos NSFW language)

Now Classic Chevrolet.

Thank @Firebird65, he's the northside historian.

Where was the Diamond R Ranch "near Jetero Airport"? Same thing as H&H Ranch?

It would be smack dab in the road if it were moved to its original location. There is some roof damage in the back. Surprised the local homeless aren't squatting there (or maybe they are)...

I had heard that would be an e-commerce hub for Amazon/Whole Foods.

They did have GW Carver High (later ACE, now GW Carver again), which was/is Aldine ISD.

Correct, now the Fort Worth Hilton. Stayed there a couple of years ago.

No reason for them to leave...no local news, Nexstar presumably has master control in another location.

And now Circle K has taken over Valero, the descendant of Stop-N-Go. In a roundabout way, U-Tote-M has won the convenience store war.

Don's?

My parents didn't like the cluster rooms, so they sent me to Colonial Hills (Odom) instead of Thompson.

Substitute street names and places, and it could apply to just about any first-ring suburb of the time.

It was next to the apartments behind what is now Best Buy/World Market, right? It's now either an empty lot or office building, depending on where exactly it was.
