    I also remember the one on Telephone Rd. My parents used to drive by it all the time. I always wanted to go there but never did for one reason or another. It seemed so high at the time. Does anyone know how tall it actually was?

    Back in 1982 on the night of my junior prom a group of us went to a place called Don the Beachcomber (I think that was the name). Does it ring a bell with anyone and is it still there?

    I hated to hear that Astroworld is closing it's doors. I remember going there as a small child through my teenage years and always had a seasons pass. The black dragon was my favorite ride back in the early days.

    57 TBird, I couldn't remember if it was in Stafford or Sugar Land. It was on 90 and you're right, it was in Sugar Land. Wasn't it across from the sugar factory somewhere? My brother and I drove by there looking for it about 4 years ago and it was no where to be found. We couldn't pin point the exact location it stood on. We just assumed it was demolished. I couldn't find any info on the net about it either.

    Does anyone remember the old theater in Stafford? It was on Main (90). We drove by there about a year ago and it was gone. My friend and I saw Saturday Night Fever there when we were 12 or 13 (we snuck in to see it because we were underaged).

    Thanks for the link! I remember when Sharpstown was THE mall to go to. Back in 1978 when my older sister first started driving she took me there. It rained very hard that day and her car stalled because the street in front of the mall was flooded. We had to walk to a pay phone to call our parents.

    Does anyone have any old photos of Meyerland Plaza or know where I can find any? I remember shopping there with my mom when I was a little girl.

    I'm amazed at how detailed your memory is!

    When I came back down to Houston 2001 I was disappointed to hear about the name change. It was really strange because it has always been the Transco Tower to me and Williams Tower just doesn't have the same ring to it. I remember when they built it. I passed it on my way to work every morning. I think it's a beautiful building.
