My cousin just moved in to the Eastwood area and is looking for a cool chill bar to go to? Can you please let me know where I can find any?

The only I know of is Lucky's.

Thanks.

Don't know if anyone ever responded to you. Bohemeo's on Telephone is a grat coffee house/wine/beer/live music venue. Many of the local ice houses (like Mac's on McKinney near Cullen) are very friendly to newcomers to the area.

Really great that someone documented this neat little school as you did.

If you can believe, the school was so tiny that we had to go to JP Henderson because this one was at full capacity in 1968. It wasnt until 69 we were able to then register at Cage. I still remember us kids sitting on those steep stairs at the entrance while mom's chatted below with teachers.

The dodge ball used to pound that wall where that water fountain is. Thats where Ms Kriskie (with cat eye glasses) had the ball hit her as she sipped water. It was like the end of the world for the kid that threw it or so it seemed. Directly to the left of that fountain is where several portable class rooms stood.

Sadly enough hurricane Ike wrecked this place even more. Good thing you took pictures. There once were several people on Haif that said they were part of the org that helped stop demolition once or at least have it registered as historical landmark? They seem to have vanished from Haif though?

The cafeteria was where most of the other action occurred especially the plays and celebrations. We all once had to wear costumes of the solar universe. Our outfits were made of crepe paper etc. It was really camp but fun. The cooks made some of the best vegetable soup ever! Imagine it was only 15 cents!

Historic Houston has been working for several years to purchase this property. The last time I checked with HH, HISD had thrown a monkey wrench in to the process. I'll find out this week and report back. Historic Houston would be a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and would be a great steward of the property.

Prior to being a Days Inn, the building was a Holiday Inn. I used to live at 2016 Main when it was still functioning as a Holiday Inn and it was maintained pretty well. That was in the early 80's and then the oil bust hit.
