Funny about this place is that one summer in the early 80's we stayed there, and i totally forgot about it.

I am going to Houston tomorrow and spending the day, will take this drive and see how things have changed.

Great pics Subdude, I sometimes wish some in San Antonio would do something like that about certain old places.

Yep. It was on Braeswood at Kirby in front of the Kroger. I always thought "Peoples Restaurant" had a funny old-fashioned communist ring to it.
That's funny Subdude, they had a location in SA that was always packed. Another question was there a miniature golf course on kirby close to the old kroger?

Did you all have a PEOPLE'S RESTAURANT in Houston?

I was lucky to visit Gilley's once in my lifetime, I was only 8 and saw it in the day. But I did get to ride the bull

Thanks for all the replies.

I remember in the scene where they are driving down the street and you see a handy dan in the background so I was think it might have been in Pasadena. But I could be wrong.

I was wondering what the name of the coffee shop was that the fight between Bud and Wes took place? Is it still standing? where is/was it located?

Hey Sev thanks for the pic, I remember when we stayed at the Astroworld hotel it was 78-79 not sure if that was the name of it or not. But remember my dad and I going to see the Astros play once and it was awesome. Thanks one again for both pics.
Does anyone have interior pics of the Astroworld hotel?

yes, and it was the waterford geriatric center after that. even upon it's abandonment, the old hotel signs remained in the garage (and of course painted along the tops of the building). it was kind of eerie.
the life science plaza is going in there now:

i noticed yesterday that major excavation has begun - underground parking/basement i'm assuming
Hey everyone thanks for your answers and that was the hotel, My family would drive from SA to Houston every summer from 78-84. I remember in 78 and 79 we stayed at the hotel by astroworld that is now the grand plaza, and 80-84 we stayed at the towers. Thanks again I remember the place looked a bit creepy but we liked it a lot, I remember once our room was in the back and it looked a bit scary back there.
One last question, are there any pictures of the grand plaza by reliant stadium from the 70's? How is the hotel holding up now. Once again thanks for the responses you guys are awesome.

Hi everyone I am new to this board and wanted to see if I could get this answered please.
In the early 80's when I traveled to Houston with my family we would stay at a hotel close to Rice university and I think it was called the Rodeway Towers??? Not too sure about the name is was an older hotel and wondering if it was torn down and if so when. We stayed there from 1980-1984 every summer but forgot the name. Any help would be great.
