  1. Hot Wells is still there. It is north of Barker Cypress on the southbound feeder road. It is now just a shooting range. It is still open to the public but there is no more swimming there. They do skeet shooting, conceled handgun classes, and just regular shooting range. My father used to tell me how they would go swimming there.
  2. i stopped by games people play on 1960 today. i did not have my camera. the mini golf is still standing along with the fence that was around it. you can clearly see where all of the holes were. the bumper boat pool is still holding water. the steps to where the water slide stood are still there as is the pools you ended up in after the slide. the building that housed the game room is nothing but a concrete pad being used as a temporary skate park. i could make out the beginning of the go kart track but not much else. it is easy to get into. there is an animal hospital right next door you can park in and all of the fence is gone. there is not a no trespassing sign on the property. wear boots and long pants. it is real overgrown. in the back there is batting cages somewhere in the brush. you can see alot of it on google maps. it is on 1960 between walters road and kuykendial(spell). i could never spell that street. it will be on the south side of 1960 between a discount tire and an animal hospital. check it out before the property sells. it is houston history. my brother and i had quite a few birthday parties there. if i can remember next time i ride my motorcycle i will bring a camera. http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&...1&encType=1 tis will link to a birds eye view. check it out. i not very good a posting links.
  3. i stumbled on this forum looking for old photos of hanna barbara land. games people play was on 1960. it has been closed for about 7 to 10 years now. you can still see some off the putt putt golf, part of the go cart track, and not much else. i had birthday parties there as a kid. somewhere in all of my pictures i have some pics of me with scooby and fred flintstone at hanna barbera land. all of the buildings at splashtown are the original buildings from hanna barbera land. i cannot remeber the name of the indoor amusement park off of 610 near 290 but i think my wife will. i went there as a kid a few times for parties and such. my wife grew up over there so i will ask her.
