Does anyone know the operating dates of the Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI) Waste Dump that was on Holmes Road at Buffalo Speedway? We turned a closed landfill into a functioning golf course by excavating new and existing borrow pits and then placing the earthen material over the landfill to create an unique recreational experience, leveraging our special expertise to safely complete this golf course overlooking Reliant Stadium and downtown Houston. http://www.lexinc.com/work/pierce-junction-encap-golf-course-reconstruction-wildcat-golf-club/

I did not know the Weitzman Group owned this old retail strip center. That is awesome! This little retail center is located on the corner of Willowbend Blvd. at South Post Oak rd. Home to the famous Annie's Hamburgers. Property flyer with site plan: -
I was browsing the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated September 26, 1962 and came across a crime article. The article was about the neighborhood U'Tote'm store located at 4102 Willowbend Blvd. This is the present day empty Frank Liu field? Or possibly the Best Care EMS place? Did anyone ever go here? When did it open? Close? Was this a stand alone building or attached to a retail strip center? Very cool history! (not the crime.)

I was browsing the newspaper The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated December 29, 1965 and came across a business ad for El Patio Mexican Restaurant located at 4118 WIllowbend Blvd. "Houston's Finest Mexican Food". They have two restaurants, maybe more. El Patio Mexican Restaurant No. 2 4188 Willowbend. El Patio Mexican Restaurant No. 2 6444 Westheimer. Looks like this is the current day EMS place? Or the Frank Liu parcel next to it. Did anyone ever eat here?

I was browsing the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated September 13, 1961 and came across this business ad for Town & Country School located at 11524 Craighead Dr. Did anyone from HAIF attend this school by any chance? This would be located near the South Main Drive-In Theater in Willowbend. Town & Country School. Off Willowbend Blvd. at 11524 Craighdead - MO 5-1148. Mrs. N.R. Bobo, Owner.

I was browsing the magazine The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated June 22, 1966 and came across a business ad for Christie's Shrimp House located at 10517 South Post Oak Rd. Interesting naming for this location. All the other stores were simply named Christie's Restaurant. Very cool. I never knew this location existed! Anyone ever eat here? Looks like this is the site of the present day Shipley's Donuts on South Post Oak near the 610 entrance ramp.

There was a request of knowledge this week about "King's Hamburgers" on West Bellfort. I was browsing the magazine The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated September 15, 1971 and came across a business ad for King's Food Host Restaurant located at 4991 W. Bellfort Ave. Looks like this is the current site of the Kroger Gas Station, or the Gabbanelli Accordions & Imports store.

I was browsing The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated September 30, 1970 and came across a business listing for Sears located at 10431 South Post Oak Rd. Very cool! I never knew about this. I heard it was a smaller satellite store. I assume this was located in the retail strip center where Cue's Burgers is. Any pictures of the building? Was the store in a strip center or was it an actual building which has since been demolished? Edit: R.I. McLemore was the store manager.

I was browsing The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated May 7, 1969 and came across this business ad for 1500 Club located at 10230 South Post Oak At Bellfort. The magazine had a ton of their ads, maybe a total of 10. Sounds like a wild and crazy place. Did anyone ever go there during the 1960's? Any stories or pictures to share? This was before the MacRobert Chevrolet Dealership and Belden's Supermarket? Or was 1500 Club located on opposite side of the freeway?

I was browsing The Southwest Citizen dated September 23, 1964 and noticed a business ad for Chicken Delight located at 4120 Willowbend Blvd. Anyone remember this place? There was countless of fried chicken restaurants on South Main in the 1960s. Everyone loved their "KC Steaks". Other locations were: Chicken Delight - 3701 Weslayan St. Chicken Delight - 4120 Willowbend Blvd. Chicken Delight - 7217 Hillcroft St.

Noticed the widening of the dirt road a long with a new fence and CenterPoint sign. What's the deal with the independent horse stables way down there? Thought I read years ago that there was a lease agreement between the original landowners and CenterPoint Energy. The family was able to keep their horses on a patch of the land. Is there a name for the stables? I looked on satellite, to find a oval track and a few old buildings/shacks. The oval track is to give the horses exercise? Didn't think there was a racing track here?

I noticed these two old business ads for Arnold Palmer Putting Course located at4995 W. Bellfort Ave. I thought another golf course was located here called Gooney Golf. Maybe just rebranded? September 23, 1965 October 14, 1965

Noticed this on JLL's website. This is outside of UT's 307-acres on Willowbend Blvd. The executive summary mentions it's a premium infill location. Also mentions TMC3 and Levit Green since TMC is only 3-miles away. Maybe long-term redevelopment? https://www.us.jll.com/en/investorcenter/industrial-logistics/willowbend-business-park-houston-tx-unitedstates

Anyone have experience with this mom and pop self storage? I believe the MC Management family developed this. I wonder how this differs from the big self storage companies in town. Website: https://www.meyerparkstorage.com/

This is the long strip center that houses the Foodarama grocery store. We didn't have a thread so I thought I could start one and gain information about the place. I'm not sure who owns the retail center or who is in charge of leasing. They don't have any signs that states that information. Other prominent tenants are EZ Pawn, Little Caesars, and Walgreens.

This is another Willowbend/South Main industrial warehouse development. I can see it contains some lab space with the company AccessDx Laboratory. Loopnet lists this with a weird address of 11504 Willow Trl, Houston, TX 77035. The street leasing signage indicates it's a project of PMRG (now Madison Marquette) but I thought another company was involved? Obviously the signage is old considering PMRG no longer exists. https://www.loopnet.com/property/11504-willow-trl-houston-tx-77035/48201-0420150000085/

This Loopnet listing recently caught my eye. They are asking $15mm for the property which seems high to me. Maybe it's just because of that specific corner? Willowbend Blvd. at South Post Oak Rd. The Executive Summary focuses on the LBJ Space Center and a Military Reservation. I find that a little unusual considering the location of the property. The marketing should be focused on the proximity to the Texas Medical Center. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/10600-S-Post-Oak-Rd-Houston-TX/25486973/ Glen Willow Apartments is a 110 unit apartment complex located on South Post Oak Road. The apartment complex is currently 97% occupied with an average unit size of 867 square feet with one, two & three bedroom options. The complex features spacious parking lots, onsite laundry facilities and 24 hour security. Glen Willow Apartments has 3 shopping centers within 0.4 miles, which is about a 6-minute walk. Glen Willow Apartments is 30.5 miles from Lyndon B Johnson Space Center, and is convenient to other military bases, including Pelican Spit Military Reservation.

I remember going here for work meetings. Our business was so small, at that time, so the church agreed to let us rent out space for a general staff meeting. Website: https://www.westburyumc.org/

Willow Meadows Baptist Church At 4300 West Bellfort St.
Highrise Tower posted a topic in Holy Places
I was searching HAIF for information about the property and couldn't find a thread. I wonder the total acreage? Website: https://www.wmbc.org/ -
I did not know there was two separate apartments on the outside of the Meyer Park Shopping Center. Anyone have experience with the Meyer Forest apartments? The complex is located at 9701 Meyer Forest Dr. The property is 3-stories and is in between a garden style and a luxury development. Probably built in the 1990's since it's not a 4-story wrap that you see now. I wonder who the original developer was? It has probably traded hands by now. Website: https://www.meyerforest.com/

Not exactly sure which office building complex this includes. Johnson Supply at 10151 Stella Link included or is it only the office at 10301 Stella Link? This would make for great multifamily residential.

http://images.chron.com/content/news/photos/05/08/12/b-histor.jpg Aug. 12, 2005, 12:28AM More historic markers ahead? City is weighing a plan to allow property owners to seek permanent protection for sites By MATT STILES Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle In what would be a victory for preservation advocates, the City Council is considering a new ordinance that would safeguard Houston's historic sites by allowing voluntary designations of "protected landmarks." The effort, designed to strengthen the city's 10-year-old preservation ordinance, would allow property owners to seek permanent protection for historic buildings they own if the sites meet specific criteria. That protection would remain, even if the property ownership changed. Read More...- 101 replies
