  1. What about the Copacabana Night Club At 8150 South Main St. ?
  2. Harry James also played at the Paladium Club on South Main @ OST in about 1954. It was owned by local musician, Johnny Martinez. Everybody played there, even Elvis what's-his-name. It could seat 2,000 people.
  3. I was browsing an old neighborhood newspaper called Southwestern Times. The issue is dated May 3, 1945. The owner of the Shell gas station was Geo. J. Linenkugel. The address was 6702 South Main St. At Southgate Blvd.
  4. I was browsing an old neighborhood newspaper called Southwestern Times. The issue is dated June 7, 1945. Here's a unique business. A bicycle rental company across from the new stadium. Very cool find!! Anyone remember this place?
  5. I found a newspaper add for Meyer Bros. The White House store. I was browsing an old neighborhood newspaper called Southwestern Times. The issue is dated June 21, 1945. This is possible Store Number 9? HAIF had a listing of all the old Meyer Bros stores and number 9 was missing from the list. Please see below.
  6. I was browsing an old neighborhood newspaper called Southwestern Times. The issue is dated December 21, 1944. This newspaper add was for a dance studio called Emmamae Horn Dance Studio located at 6620 1/2 South Main St. Does anybody know about this place? How does it differ from the End O Main ball room located down the block at 9810 South Main?
  7. I was browsing an old neighborhood newspaper called Southwestern Times. The issue is dated October 5, 1944. Noticed an add for the infamous Westheimer Storage & Transfer Co. They were advertising their South Main branch located at 6628 South Main St. Very cool find!!
  8. I was browsing an old neighborhood newspaper called Southwestern Times. The issue is dated November 2, 1944. Looks like Mott's Store was a department store, or a general store for home goods. Anyone know the history to this company?
  9. I was browsing an old neighborhood newspaper called Southwestern Times. The issue is dated September 13, 1945. Noticed an add for Mading's Drug Stores that had 3 store numbers and addresses listed. They must have been later stores since they are counting into the teens. Mading's Drug Stores No. 14 - 6602 South Main No. 15 - 2402 University Boulevard No. 19 - 1930 Bissonnet
  10. I was browsing an old neighborhood newspaper called Southwestern Times. The issue is dated September 13, 1945. Noticed an add for Blum's Fine Jewerly And Gifts. Anyone recall this store? Did they merge with another company or did they permanently close?
  11. I was browsing an old neighborhood newspaper called Southwestern Times. The issue is dated June 7, 1945. I wonder what happened to this company? Anyone remember it? I like the company logo. FP for the company founders.

  13. At the corner of South Main St. and Braesmain Dr. Loopnet has a listing for South Main Shopping Center located at 8200-8330 South Main Street. The retail strip center is being leased by Property Trust. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/8200-8330-S-Main-St-Houston-TX/23854107/
  14. Noticed a chiller replacement and remodel permit. We don't have a thread for this prime space in the TMC so I thought I'd create a topic.
  15. Noticed this old motel on S. Main for sale. The site is 1.98-acres. Would make for a good multifamily or medical office development. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/10015-S-Main-St-Houston-TX/25029789/
  16. I noticed about two weeks ago that a crane had appeared behind the Texas Orthopedic Hospital in the Texas Medical Center at Greenbriar and S. Main. This past week, they began to add some steel beams to the top of the existing 3 story building - building some steel framework about 2 stories tall. Driving by today, I snapped a few pics. Doing a quick Google search, I managed to find a small bit of info, including some interior and an exterior renderings. http://www.behance.net/gallery/13794267/Texas-Orthopedic-Hospital Sounds like they are doing a 2 story vertical expansion onto their existing building. I really couldn't find any other details besides that. Anyone know any additional details?
  17. I've just taken an interest in Rice University. Has there ever been any year(s) that it won any championship? The only pro football player who comes to my mind who attended Rice was Tommy Kramer. When I attended the University of Arkansas from 1984-86, I remember that Rice University was in the same conference.
  18. This is from a news release yesterday on the Methodist hospital homepage. Looks like they're going all out. Methodist announces inpatient tower expansion Learn about our facilities. HOUSTON - 02/19/07 - The Methodist Hospital System announced today plans for one of the Texas Medical Center
  19. This is big news! The renderings look pretty decent. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4270485.html
  20. In the early 60's my mom and dad would load up by brother and I and drive thru downtown to their favorite place to eat shrimp. It was a "drive-in" restaurant and I remember it had huge wooden indians sitting cross legged on the roof. My mom told me many years ago that at first they would pack by brother and I PB&J sandwiches to eat while they had "Fried Shrimp". Money was tight! Then it got to where my brother and I wanted hamburgers and would be able to talk my mom out of 1 shrimp for each of us. When it got to when we both wanted shrimp, that was the time we stop going there. Anyone know the name of this place?
