i went to 2 baseball games there - one against the giants,and the other against the pirates. we lost both. back then, there was this new rookie, ces

thanks to all who responded to the alfred's in rice village. what a shock to drive down rice from greenbriar and not see it. the sour cream cheesecake from the bakery gave me so much comfort food back in the late 60s. they also had fruit topped cheesecakes, but the sour cream topped one was so good. ...also, a kosher bakery called 3 brothers are braeswood had the BEST onion rolls. and, 3 brothers still is there and not all that different except for prices, of course. again, anyone know anything about the old albritton cafeteria on waugh drive not far south of allen parkway? it just may be too far in the past for most of you. ding

as someone who has been away almost 40 years and is now back, can anyone say what happened to these? albritton's cafeteria on waugh dr close to dallas? great twice baked potatoes Jetton's cafeteria on richmond maybe at buffalo speedway? close to greenway plaza alfred's deli and bakery on both rice blvd and stella link? good bakery - and back then luby's in houston and dallas was called Romana, not luby. the first one in houston was on the buffalo speedway south of the SW FWY. I have stood in line 25 minutes many many times in that place for the fried fish, tartar sauce, pea salad, pecan pie, and iced tea. the building is still there but closed up now. of course, there are lots of luby's. why would that locale close? the area certainly could support another luby's - or former Romana. and, last, dunkin donuts on shepherd north of richmond - east side of shepherd. you could get a dozen filled for 99 cents. this is not to downplay shipley at all. i ate my weight lots of times at shipley too. ding
