  1. I noticed we didn't have a thread for the Eden's Terrace Shops Shopping Center at 5115 Buffalo Speedway. I remember going to Qin Dynasty Chinese Restaurant with my coworkers back in the day. I've also been in that Starbucks as well. Website: https://edens.com/property/terrace-shops/
  2. I noticed a small remodel permit that was pulled. This 2-story office is sitting on very, very valuable land. I wonder when the old 2-story office building will no longer be feasible.
  3. I was reading the newspaper The Rice Thresher dated August 21, 1987 and came across a full-page ad for Chanello's Pizza located at 5233 Buffalo Speedway. Did anyone ever eat here? How does it rank to the rest of the Houston pizza pie restaurants?
  4. I was browsing the newspaper The Jewish Herald-Voice dated April 11, 1974 and came across this small Kosher market and deli. Called Goodman Foods located at 9224 Buffalo Speedway. Phone: 667-7711. Looks like this is the current site of the town home community called Pemberton Circle? Also across the street is that new senior living complex called The Tradition Buffalo Speedway located at 9339 Buffalo Speedway. Did anyone ever go here? Or knew about it before the demolition? Was this in a small strip center by any chance? This was demolished to make way for residential, so I assume it took out something fairly large. - If it's kosher, we have it - Under supervision of Houston Rashruth Association.
  5. I don't think we have a thread for the St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church located at 5308 Buffalo Speedway. How long has the church been there? I'm sure they'd been there for 40+ years? Anyone ever attend service here? This is located at Buffalo Speedway & Bissonnet near the HEB.
  6. I was browsing the newspaper Southwestern Times dated March 30, 1950 and cam across an ad for Hodell and Company Real Estate Counselors Southern Oaks Field Office located on Buffalo Speedway At Underwood St. What ever happened with this company? Did it get bought out and merged or did it completely fold under? Hodell and Company's main office was at 2111 Westheimer with a phone number of KE 2501. Love this building!! Very cool!
  7. Found this matchbook on Ebay for Romana Cafeteria located at 5215 Buffalo Speedway. What's the story of this place? Was it bought out by Wyatt's Cafeteria (turned Luby's) and then this particular location closed? Looks like this is was located at the present-day HEB on Bissonnet & Buffalo Speedway. Was this restaurant in the Speedway Shopping Center? The Speedway Shopping Center was active in the 1960s. I'm not sure when Romana Cafeteria was in operation. Another location of Romana Cafeteria was at 6223 Bellaire Blvd. at Hillcroft Ave.
  8. I was researching Houston retail the other day and came across this old, now demolished, shopping center called Speedway Shopping Center. This is the current day HEB parcel on the corner of Buffalo Speedway & Bissonnet. Do we know who was the developer? I wonder the list of stores here? I can see: Hi Hat Cleaners Max's Beauty Salon Buffalo Pharmacy Barber Shop Records Lewis & Coker Liquor Store Does anyone recall this old retail center? Memories or pictures? August 24, 1964: This pylon stands on Buffalo Speedway north of Bissonnet, marking the location of the newly renovated and enlarged Speedway Shopping Center. Located on a five-acre tract, the center contains 38,000 square feet of floor space and its stores and shops offer a wide variety of merchandise and services.
  9. Coming soon!!! Chevron Star Stop- Car Wash, Taqueria, and Washateria located on the corner of Buffalo Speedway and West Airport Blvd. It's possible TMC bought the land for their TMC BioPort campus. We will see if the Chevron gets built anytime soon. I was joking the intersection should build an Exxon to complete the trifecta of Shell, Chevron, and Exxon. I wonder who HAIF prefers
  10. The Shell Star Stop gas station at the corner of Buffalo Speedway & West Airport Blvd. was built in only 6 months. The developer had to clear vacant forest land to build. There is a planned Chevron across the street. They are pulling a South Post Oak & Willowbend. Maybe they can add an Exxon on the other corner (for sale listed by JLL) which would replicate the SPO & Willowbend intersection. Anyway, if things go as planned. This intersection will be booming with activity in a few years. The TMC BioPort Campus is located here. Picture I took a few days ago.
  11. I forgot the date to this business ad I found. I believe it was the 1940s/1950s. S.M. Griffis Company located at 5624 Buffalo Speedway. "For prompt, careful, efficient handling, list your real estate for sale with us today. There is a ready market for residential properties right now. "
  12. I always pass by here and wanted to know what this was. I stopped by today and took a picture of the street signage. Bo's Place is a Houston based non-profit bereavement center offering free grief support services for children, families and adults in their grief journey. https://www.bosplace.org/en/
  13. This is one of the Mitchell (Michael) Louis Westheimer's companies. Westheimer storage was founded in the late 1800's. I was doing some research on Mr. Westeimer, he had a lot of companies! I almost bought some antiques on Ebay I stopped by the other day to snap a picture. I wonder if this is the last standing modern-day building of theirs. The family no longer owns it. The family sold the company some 50-years ago.
  14. Another building designed by Kirksey Architecture. I stopped by here the other day to take pictures. https://www.kirksey.com/portfolio/projects/american-heart-association
  15. I looked at these apartments the other day. They were nice and across the street from The RO. https://invernessapts.com/
  16. Great Southern Life Insurance Co. occupied a building on this corner in the mid-50's. I had a summer job there just after I graduated from high school. There was a park called Dunlavy Park just south of there that had a swimming pool. I have no idea how long Great Southern was there. Seems like I remember a Great Southern building near Richmond and Buffalo Speedway when I worked for TI on the SE corner of Buffalo Speedway and Richmond in the early-mid 60's. Does anyone know the evolution of the occupancy of the Richmond-Dunlavy corner from the 50's on?
  17. Houston Methodist has leased space in the small retail center a long Buffalo Speedway. Not to be confused with the huge shopping center named Plaza In The Park by Eden. This small retail center is developed by Lovett Commercial and has an address of 5110 Buffalo Speedway.
  18. Does anyone remember the Ribald Club back in the 70's off Buffalo Speedway??
  19. This shopping center is at Buffalo Speedway & Westpark. Across the street from H-E-B. This center is anchored by Kroger. Noticed Vietopia vacated their spot after a decade. They are now located at the Southwest Freeway service road by Whataburger. Went to eat there last night. Same great food! Definitely a smaller footprint. Probably had to downsize due to Covid. Found an old drawing from the realtor's website. http://www.rhsint.com/plaza-in-the-park.html
  20. Upcoming road work at Buffalo Speedway near Holcombe Blvd. in West University. https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/TABS/Search/Project/TABS2020021433
  21. It's been around since the 1950s. Definitely a modern style. Has it been renovated since its construction?
