Wish local TV could be like this again. I wonder what happened to that.

Cool stuff! You can see how much Houston has changed.

I have seen the old KTRK logo and had the black cat because 13 and black cat is considered unlucky. This was before the circle 13 that looks like cattle branding, which I remember the most. It is a pity that television stations do not produce their own children's show like they did back than.

He really changed Halloween as we know it today. Dean Corll is the personification of evil right there!

I have heard of Dean Corll. He is one sick person. He has to be the worst serial killers besides Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Jeffrey Dahmer. He is a genuine psychopath and pervert of the lowest denomination. I have read that more people could of been killed by Corll. http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_...ll/index_1.html Also, there is the "I-45 Killer", who killed many women. He has yet to be caught. I have lived in Houston all my life and I have not heard much of Dean Corll. I noticed people in Houston talk about hurricanes more often and are often more memorable.

Southwest Houston changes a lot. -
I don't remember Zappo's.

I remember as a child in the 1980s, there was a large Christmas store, which had no windows. It had a lot of Christmas items sold there. It was near 59 and S. Gessner. I wonder what is the name of that store?

I remember Pepppermint Palace. I went there a lot as a kid. It was a cool place to be. Now, it is part of a car dealership. I believe it closed in the late 1980s.- 36 replies

I don't remember this one. I have read that 1983 it rained a lot. Also, Hurricane Alicia came crashing into Houston. I do remember many other weather events in Houston.

I first read about this after the Columbine massacre. It is one of Houston's deadliest mass killings.
