    Now that's some creative architecture!

    I used to love the Dell kiosk, but they foolishly decided to discontinue it. Dell made a really poor decision in choosing frustrating telephone service over personal human service.

    How can you hate something that you are not forced to use? I seriously doubt the complainers gleefully choose to walk around downtown Houston on a humid August day in their suits and ties while avoiding the air conditioned underworld. Not buying it.

    If I ever left Texas, it would be Luby's that I would miss the most. (There's only 5 cities outside Texas that have them: Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Shreveport, Bossier City, Little Rock, and Surprise, AZ.) Many people around the country don't even know what cafeterias are! I mostly miss the Piccadilly at Northwest Mall, the Luby's on Shepard, and the Wyatt's on 43rd.

    I know that Gene Tierney lived in Houston from 1960 - 1991 and is buried in Glenwood cemetary, but I never hear about her home/house. I believe she may have lived in River Oaks...does anyone know which house?

    I'm addicted to water, sleeping, eating, & sex. 'Addiction' is a word misused by the medical community in order to make money.

    What about the other Oak Forest shopping center....on Mangum just north of 43rd?? The vacant, remote, and forgotten Oak Forest shopping center. Anyone know about its future?

    I see a reference to the Yorktown Townhouses in 'The Psychology of Serial Killer Investigations'. ---- I see they refer to the Frencesa(Princessa?/Cancun?) apartments on Wirt. I'd be interested in any further info about the Wirt apartment location if anyone knows.

    There is a shed there...don't know if it is the same one or not. The candyshop was his mother's...it was a real candyshop. Corll would make friends with teenagers by passing out candy samples. In 'The Man with the Candy', author Jack Olsen suggests that other victims might be buried around Corll's candy shop, but authorities show no interest in pursuing the case further. Henley insisted there were at least two more corpses in the boat shed.

    Dean Corll locations: Boat shed - Silver Bell & Player; shed #11 Heights candyshop - West 22nd street; just north of Helms elementary Pasadena house - 2020 Lamar street, Pasadena

    ----- JWW, read my initial post for addresses. 1) 'Hughes' by Richard Hack is a more accurate book than 'Hughes - The Secret Life' by Charles Higham. I read both of them...Hack investigated deeper than Higham. Howard was born in Humble on September 24, 1905. 2) They currently teach Theology out of Hughes house on Yoakum. 3) Miss Ella Rice and Howard Hughes married at 7:00 P.M., June 1st, 1925, at 10 Remington Lane. 10 Remington Lane is adjacent to Sunset blvd at Rice University(expensive). 7) The Pig Stand was built in 1921...so it is possible, but I don't know.

    I worked there around '75/'76. I started as a pizza maker, eventually an oven cook. I once burned my palm while popping a pizza bubble in the rear of the oven. Panjos had the best pizza environment ever...the smells, the look, the feel. The best thing about Panjos is that they used real sausage, real hamburger, real mushrooms - not that 'freeze dried' crap most places use. Good memories.

    True. People should never get their history from Hollywood. In Hughes case, there was no need to rewrite history for the sake of drama...Hughes real life was amazing enough.

    The Hollywood plane crash in 1946 was the CENTRAL event in Hughes life. The bogus movie, 'The Aviator', incorrectly overstated his OCD symptoms as a young man - his problems were caused by drugs which he took from 1946 on(age 40).

    I'm new and this site confuses me...sorry.

    The notable locations in Houston of the Howard Hughes Family: 1404 Crawford: Howard Hughes, Sr., and his pregnant wife lived in a house located within the confines of the present day Toyota Center(believe it or not). The mother was afraid of the mosquitos and moved to Humble to deliver Howard, Jr. in 1905. McKinney street: The Hughes family lived on McKinney street in Eastwood, but the exact address is debatable. 2nd street & Girard: The original Sharp-Hughes Tool company was located here on present day University of Houston Downtown campus. There is a art/sculpture that depicts the three headed drill bit that Howard, Sr. invented (1909) and patented. 1700 Main street: The Hughes family lived in the Beaconsfield apt/hotel in 1916(room 2A). Howard was 11 years old. The hotel still stands and has been renovated. 3921 Yoakum street: The Hughes family home was built in 1918 and Howard, Jr., spent his teenage years here. The home transferred to the University of St. Thomas in 1953. They currently teach theology out of his house. Howard kept the home so that his aunt could live there after he went to Calfornia in 1925. 1212 Main street(Humble building): Howard Hughes, Sr., died in his office on the 5th floor in 1924. 2525 Washington Avenue(Glenwood cemetery): Howard, Jr., Sr., and his aunt are all buried in a plot long the western edge of the cemetery.

    The 18 tennis courts have been replaced by the most atrocious, obscene, cluttered eyesore that you can possibly imagine. To make matters worse, there is a new megahighrise being built across the street. Game, set, match.
