SpaceAge Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Glenbrook Valley is in the process of becoming Houston's first post WW 2 protected neighborhood. Come see what they are working to preserve. It should be a big event. The neighbors put in a lot of effort for these events and plan to show some of their 1950's and 1960's cars too.
