theoriginalkj Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Does anybody here have the 'Houston: Remember When' VHS tapes? Do any of you think we can go in and split the cost of the series for $75 and each borrow it? I would really like to see the tapes but $75 is a bit much.

Volume IV didn't look that interesting to me, so I didn't get it. Never saw a Volume III. I would be happy to mail these to you, and you can view, or copy, and send back to me. Just reimburse me for mailing charges. I think my neighbor has a VHS to DVD recorder, if so, I can put them on DVD and mail to you if you would prefer that method.

Ashikaga Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 What are these tapes about? I have a VHS to DVD converter. Tell me more..I'm planning to buy one of those VHS to DVD converters when the price goes down. My dad bought his first VCR back in 1980. It cost him $600 and it was very basic. The "remote" control was a cord and all that it did was pause the tape. Today I've seen some new VCRs as low as $40-$45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I have Volume I, and I think I saw the second part on tv. To be honest, I didn't much enjoy the series. Instead of a lot of old photos or information about Houston, most of the shows were reminiscing about their personal memories of different places. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing the Dance Halls segment on Volume 3 (Aragon and End o' Main). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not own a VHS player anymore, but I would be willing to pay for these on DVD. IM me if anyone has a set on DVD they would like to burn for me. I will pay for your trouble.

Ashikaga Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 DVD conversions of them would be quite popular in this forum. Would you be able to loan them to me?KevinIf you did manage to get them recorded onto DVD you could sell them. I'd probably buy some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nm5k Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I use my puter to record video, and transfer from VHS to DVD, etc.. My video card has a TV tuner, and I have a DVD burner I use to torch them off to disk. I can easily transfer any tape or DVD to DVD.. I have a SIMA video stabilizer that will take out macrovision from copyrighted material. Of course, I only use it under the clinical supervision of a dokter... :/ I record and burn a lot of movies... Often two or three a day just off the cable... I've got big shoeboxes full of DVD movies.. I've got two VHS machines tied to my puter for tape editing. Both are hi-fi, and the newer one is VHS-DVD both.. So I can play DVD movies on the sony, and avoid wear to my burn drive.. One thing that is handy, is most new DVD players also play MP3's, and some also do JPG's... My sony does both. So I can play my music disks on it too. My 21'' puter monitor is my "TV", and I run the desktop at 1600x1200 res. With the 720 res movies, and that display res, it's pretty close to HDTV. You can stick your nose right up to the screen, and hardly see any pixels. I go back to a normal TV, and it looks like a big dot matrix puzzle cuz the pixels stick out so much..

JLWM8609 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Think it was Part 1, would have alerted you guys, but didn't know until a friend called to tell me (after it started). A few things featured were: 1. Lincoln Treater 2. Phenix Dairy (showed delivery trucks)3. Pilgrim Temple (constructed for fraternal order)4. Prince's on 4500 Main 5. Shamrock HotelI was very intrigued by the story of the Pilgrim Temple. Built by Alfred Finn. Must have sat in one of the wards. Had an auditorium for meetings, held 600-800 people, had physician & attorney offices, a labor union, the NAACP, they held Debutante Balls there, even Duke Ellington & Cab Calloway played there. Does anyone know what happened to this bldg. & where it was located, exactly?http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/houpub/00024/hpub-00024.html, looks like it's at the top of his list, here.I think the Pilgrim Temple was torn down when The Gulf Freeway was built in the late 40s.

ricco67 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I saw the program as well, but apparently, I sped past the chatter they had.The thing that I found interesting is Clark Gable actually living in Montrose and the Sterling mansion being moved. I didn't know those two little facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riomar Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Great video and good music. After seeing that I now declare Dave Ward a vampire, lol. He never seems to age other then the hair is gray. Loved the old Gallery Furniture ad clip. He was so young then. I do wish there was a clip from an old Cal Worthington ad and Thunderbolt. I loved seeing the Shots of Astroworld, The Astrodome, Foley's and Woolworth's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed_Tx Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Thunderbolt still shows the same commercial they showed in the 80's- the blond with the Cadillac. The only change to the commercial was adding the 713 once the phone company added 281 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
