Native Son

I like the Old Main Loop which ran from near Craghead and ran all the way through the Astrodome site

tell me when, I can walk there in about a minute

anyone? I know other members live in this area

Does anyone know what is going up at the northwest corner of Woodwind and W. Bellfort, directly across the street from St. George's Church? It used to be a small private school, bu the lot was cleared a year or two ago. They recently began laying underground sewage and plumbing. Anyone? Google maps

the old Burger King is the very same building which now holds CiCi's Pizza....it was a Dairy Queen for while as well....I am willing to bet there is some serious built up grime in that building...all those years of fast food cooking......

my less than reliable sources tell me it is a new Burger King - Where Kids are King!

we moved in 9 years later.....do you remember Ben's Schwinn Shop on Willowbend, on the other side of the tracks?

what year did you move into Willowbend?

I recall the best of times: an nut job blowing himself up at Poe Elementary, and taking his son and several others with him...the namesake of your elementary schoolthe police digging up the bodies of 27 boys from a boat storage shed off Hiram Clark...they were runaways back then, not missing and exploited childrencolored only waiting rooms in the Medical Towers Buildingmy elementary school principal welcoming the new darkie children to our school good times indeed, time to take off the rose colored glassed and take a sip of your 4 dollar mocha latte.... it wasn't better, the news cycles were just slower

Marini's Empanade House, the original Harlow's (pre Landry's), Spud-u-Like..they sold a baked potato the size of a damned football! I know it says ten, but the late 70's and early 80's were kinda hazy for me....I vaguely remember all the clubs switching from disco or fern bars to pseudo cowboy joints....and I think I had a motorcycle then .....

hope the link works http://www.historicaerials.com/?poi=6578 according to the shot from Historicaerial.com the Old Main Loop did not meet up with Alt 90

is it my imagination, or did this thread take a real personal turn about 50 posts in?
