your cousin was one hell of a car salesman! He sold my dad a new Chrysler every other year for my entire childhood! In fact, I remember Mr. Barbato sending me, my brother and sister birthday cards every year....man, oh man, that was customer service that kept you coming back FOREVER....

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

Born and reared here, educated here, work here, and since most of my family has passed away, my wife's family keeps us rooted here, and I can't imagine living somewhere that did't have 100 degree summers

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...... -

Okay then, we remember Ben's, but does anyone else recall Toranado Fooshall on Post Oak, or the Double Eagle on Gassmer, or that tiny filthy little game room off Benning next to the equally tiny and filthy convenience store....and for those of you who recall Gooney Golf, I passed the clubs and balls through sliding glass for about a year in the mid 70's

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

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 .....

my uncle used to take my brother and I as kids....I kind of blended the memories of the prison rodeo with my earliest recollections of the fat stock show and rodeo at the brand new Astrodome. I specifically remember my uncle telling me that in the arena they were all just cowboys
