  1. I saw the earlier thread on the Chuck Wagon restaurant, and that got me to wondering about the old Roy Rogers restaurants. Were there ever any in Houston? I swear that erotic clothing store at Westheimer at the Loop (the one that used to be a Luke's Hamburgers) was also once a Roy Rogers back in the early 1970s. I'm sure I went there as a kid. But I found a Roy Rogers restaurant nostalgia site, and they make no mention of there having been any Roy Rogers in Houston, let alone Texas, and where they say there were sites, they were located in states I've never been to.

    Anyone know?

    Yes, there was one in a strip shopping center immediately south of the old Northline Mall (R.I.P) on Crosstimbers between Fulton and the North Freeway. Building and sign still there, just not with the Roy Rogers name. It's been through a whole bunch of owners/names since.

  2. What does this mean when you're trying to post a picture on the board?

    Sorry, dynamic pages in the %7Boption%7D tags are not allowed

    I loaded a map on imagevenue then tried to download it here using the "Insert Image" button. I copied the url and when I hit "Add Reply" that's what I got.

    What in the world is a "dynamic page"???

    It will let me insert a link, but not an image:

    AISD Map

    It's a satellite image of the Aldine ISD. I photoshopped in the district boundaries and some other info.

    KEY

    Red Line - Current Aldine ISD boundary

    Blue Line - Aldine High School area (the area covered in my history report)

    White Line - Aldine Township

    Green Line - Northline Terrace Subdivision (Sections 1-3)

  3. I know of two supermarkets. One on Airline @ Little York called Eagles. Across the street from it was a old gas station. The owner had a monkey inside of the gas station, I'm talking late 70's. Also there was a supermarket called Richy's on Aldine Westfield @ Hopper Road. Great memories there. The owner died in the early 1990's

    I live in close proximity to Richie's #3...it has been through two or three owners since the family who owned it (yes, they are still around...just not in the grocery business anymore). It is now a "Rancho something-or-another". At one time, there were three Richie's:

    #1 was on East Mt. Houston between 59 and Hirsch Road...it is still a grocery store.

    #2 was on Langly between Hirsch and 59 and in close proximity to the old Globe (now Sak and Save)- this building no longer exists.

    FYI from a northside boy.

  4. OK it seems like there was a Globe store on 59 North (maybe near Little York) that also had the name Jubilee City at one time. I remember going there with my grandparents.

    I think the building still stands.

    Yes, it is Sak and Save now and barely survived T.S. Allison.

    I don't remember it ever being called "Jubilee City" but it has been a flea market on at least two different occassions before becoming Sak and Save.

    Anyone remember "Shopper's Fair" on Crosstimbers and Shepard?
