  1. The only skyscraper ever designed by MacKie-Kamrath, in Pasadena, Texas is in danger of demolition! http://www.glasssteelandstone.com/BuildingDetail/719.php This website has photos of the building and a nice description. A CVS Pharmacy recently opened opposite this incredible building...so you know what THAT means! Walgreens is buying the old Bank Building with plans to tear it down and build another Walgreens. What can we do?????
  2. I remember the Indian cooking over a fire...He was a statue, outlined in neon. That is about where that big clinic and garage are now, between Fannin and Main, at Dryden. Anyone remember VALLIAN'S near the Shamrock? They had a great ceiling with twinkling stars...like the Hobby Center. My favorite was Trader Vic's at the Shamrock. And the SirLoin Inn, on Main at 610, with a Knight on a White Charger out front.
  3. What is happening to that great little Mid-Century Doctor's office on Fannin, in MidTown? I seem to recall that it is a late Joseph Finger (or am I confusing it with a MacKie Kamrath?)? It sits on a corner and has an inverted point entrance and is stone and brick. Someone is modernizing the hell out of it. And then there is the old Shirar's Bicycle Shop...a Great Moderne relic...now beyond recognition.

  5. I was ON Cadet Don's show in about 1967. It was a birthday show, and he gave me a Cowboy hat. He had a puppet named Seymour, who lived in a flying saucer. Later, I remember Cadet Don Davis. HE sings occasionally in Houston with a folk group called "Traveller".
  6. I remember swimming at the pool of the Prudential. My step-father was an executive there. They had tennis courts and a lanai like the Shamrock. Flagstones made a huge patio around the pool. I also had a memory for so long, which I could not confirm. Looking out of a very high building, but seeing bushes and trees at the same height. I went up in the Prudential a few years ago, and found the old boad room. It had planters outside the windows, which explained the memory. I so hope, that IF the building is torn down, the wonderful curved mural from the lobby can be saved. And the fountain out front.
