    While we are on the subject I have a friend writing a book about those good old days and is selling posters of Love Street to help pay for it. Book link

    Dairy Queen, Popeye's, Burger King. Pearlanders will have no reason to ever leave their city any more.

    I would like to see Buffalo Speedway go through to Holmes Rd. Maybe the city would then finally improve/widen that road. That would take a lot of pressure off the highway 90 commute.

    For a brief time in the 70's I worked for Palais Royal. They had a grand opening at Greenspoint that I attended with my wife. I remember it because they had champagne. A lot of it. So much that I had to practically carry my wife out to the car. Good times. I do miss West Oaks. Spent a lot of time there with our kids in the 80's riding the cool carousel they had. I wonder what happened to that carousel?

    Has anyone been to this new restaurant on S. Shepherd? Greatfull Taco Their press release is rather bizarre. I may have to try them.

    It's coming down little by little. ">

    Couldn't agree with you more. And it should be pointed out the cops tried to subdue the man without the use of firearms (taser). I for one am happy he's not roaming the streets of Houston.

    I'm appalled you can't see what's going on in your own neighborhood. I admit I'm generalizing and all of Montrose does not have these problems but enough of it does that it needs to be addressed.

    The indigents live in the slum apartments/houses and pay rent, the homeless live in the abandoned homes and don't pay rent. And yes I do believe it should be a goal. Achievable? That would depend on how active the organization is.

    In other words, get rid of the slum lords and the shabby rental properties.

    You can't stop it. Just embrace it and look at the bright side. Soon you can play Walmart Bingo.

    I went to the Walyworld by my house over the weekend for dog food and bird food and as I entered the store there was a large display of Huggies diapers on my right and a display of Slim Fast on my left. They definitely know their customers.

    That really was one of the most awesome spectacles I have ever seen.

    Could be a good location for another Whole Foods store. Area demographics is a definite fit. Or if they play their cards right maybe they can get a Super-Walmart.

    Ha. That actually would be pretty cool.

    To late. Rice is merging with UT next week.

    90% chance it's a Starbucks or CVS Pharmacy.

    Meyerland went through a couple of major floods in the 70's and 80's. I'm pretty sure many of the homes in that neighborhood suffered , especially those closest to Braes Bayou.

    In case your in the med center area and wandering what the commotion is about, they supposedly have the prisoner escapee cornered at the Baylor Clinic 6620 Main. They have Main St. shut down.

    I wish they would do some work on Holmes road. Make it 4 lanes. That would also alleviate some congestion on 90.

    I forgot about that one. It was interesting because of the hills. Surprised it closed. I mean what else are you going to do with a former landfill?
  22. Fringe
    I remeber both of those. The Texas Par 3 was great when it was just a 9 hole course but they later crammed in another 9 holes and ruined it. Hackberry was great. I really miss that course. It was always immaculate. They talked about putting lights on it but I don't think they ever did unless it was right before they closed. Don't know why it ever closed. Always seemed pretty busy. Are there any par 3 nine hole courses left? They were fun for sharpening your game and when you had limited time to play.

    Just played there a week ago. Still one of the best public courses in Houston for the money. When my family moved to Houston in 50's it was an exclusive private country club. There was a neighbor that would take my dad there on occasion during the 60's. Not sure exactly when the City bought it and turned it into a public course. I think I only played there once before it closed. It was a nice course. The one I miss the most though is Old Orchard.

    That's it. The picture shows my house just west of Post Oak and my good friends house just east of Cliffwood. To get to his house meant following Braes Bayou or cutting through the Meyer property.
