My dad was the piano player there on Thursday nights. (Joe Nettles). He'd been there for about 15-18 years along with one of the bartenders and a few more. He still plays parties and has an after school music program that he teaches, but he's mostly retired. It's kinda sad because it was a nice place. He'd played other places around town like Brennans (right after I was born), and Vargos, etc.. but he'd been at the Bistro the longest. In '87, he had an album out and also did some soundtrack work for a movie. I recall him starting the Bistro gig shortly after that. It closed two weeks ago. He said that the owner said that business was slow and had been for a while.....in addition to the high taxes. My dad always has his eye on the future and loves to stay busy. ....nevertheless, the Bistro will be missed by a lot of folks.

Hi! I was just wondering how old my elementary school (Hartsfield) was and I found this site. http://www.houstonisd.org/HISDConnectDS/v/...00052147fa6RCRD I was there from 1977 (pre K) until 1984 (5th grade). I grew up in the Palm Center area. My parents still live there. I'm 34 now and I can recall a little bit about how the area used to look. I found a thread devoted to the area and I really enjoyed it. I'm new, so I did a search prior to posting this and found this awesome thread. It ties in very well. http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...&hl=schools Take care! <3 Anjie.

This is my first post.....um let's see... I grew up in the 70's and 80's.....Price Buster foods (ew) and Lucky 7 supermarket at the intersection of OST and Griggs. I also remember McFrugals from a few years ago.
