Houston Fire Station No. 33 At 7100 Fannin St.
hadooga replied to sevfiv's topic in Historic Houston
Yeah, I mentioned Bellaire's old fire station upthread. And yes, I'll miss it. -
Really enjoyed these - thanks for sharing!

Many months ago we went to look at the house on Gaywood and we just drove around a bit before leaving the neighborhood. My husband noticed this particular house and was so curious about it. Thanks to you, sheeats, he won't be as curious anymore!
-
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking nobody knew!
-
Yeah I noticed the color change, too. We have season tickets for the Aeros, but I've never been to a Rockets game in TC. Does it just appear that the color changes because they actually go row by row & lift up/put down all seat cushions before a Rockets game? I have no idea, but I'm sure they do a lot more to get the place 'nice' for the Rockets games than they do for the Aeros. They don't seem to like us hockey fans too much (most likely because there are so few of us) so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they completely changed cushions. That does seem like a lot of work, though.

HCAD says this property belongs to Memorial United Methodist & has since 1989. Did they sell it recently?

We are not going to be able to make the tour The 25th is just a bad day for us. We do plan on going to the Modern Market, though - will we be able to buy the book there? Or just pick it up later from Houston Mod?

Thanks sevfiv, for these pics. I have always admired this old station, too. It reminds me quite a bit of the current Bellaire fire station, which will be gone soon enough. -
Thanks, Flipper, for the pictures. It was obviously a great house & it's sad that it was neglected so. Also, sevfiv, that's so funny about the sign. Even though I've seen them a million times, and obviously remembered JTB - I never noticed their little graphics. "The wrecking ball against the city, the bulldozer against the world" is going to be part of my vocabulary now.
-
Not to completely derail, but is JTB the 'only' demo company in town? They just knocked one down across the street from me a couple of days ago and I was thinking about how every house I see go here (in Bellaire) always has the JTB sign in the yard.

i saw several shows at cabaret voltaire, but it did close pretty soon after i started going there with any regularity. and bachanon - i still listen to the band all the time, too. how long were the urban animals around? i remember seeing them out & about a lot, and then they were just gone - or at least i never saw them anymore. didn't they used to joust & such?
-
Well, there's an open house on Thursday (31st) from noon - 2pm. Isn't that an odd day for an open house? The detail says "Great property to update or build. Located in Hunters Creek neighborhood of River Bend on cul-de-sac. DESSERT SERVED!"

Hermann Park Train History

How many of us have pictures at one of these fountains at the zoo? I have one of myself from the 70's. -
Yeah I went to Bellaire & would walk to Zappo's regularly ... before driving was even an option!
-
Yeah, I liked Zappo's better, too. You remember how you could buy half sandwiches? I used to go pretty regularly during my high school years and get a whole cheese melt. One day I went & ordered just a half and the guy working asked me if I just wasn't that hungry that day or what... I told him that I was just too broke that day! When I got home & opened the bag, he'd given me a full sandwich.
