  1. As I remember, Texaco was considering putting up a lowrise office building and the street name change was part of the negotiations between the parties. The building did indeed become a reality.
  2. Chuck Wagon Alumni Representing! I worked there back in '76. The same Richard Warren was there. This was my first real job. I had the glamorous task of mopping, taking out the trash, etc. for about $1.50 per hour. Couldn't work in the grill or behind the counter. This was back when a 12-year-old could actually get some semblance of work and, of course, minimum wage rules didn't apply. As I recall, Baskin-Robbins was paying 1.25/hour at the time for 14 year olds. On a side trip, the Kroger across the street had a deal where coupons were given out for carts that were returned from the lot. There were little books we could fill up. Fifty coupons could be exchanged for one dollar and this was another job of sorts I had to make spending money at that age. Bissonnet was fairly built up in that area by that time.
  3. First car is Al Valeri. Second car is Darrell Stoner. Both are around 1976-77 vintage.
