cowboybud Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Does anyone know anything about the vacant building located at FM 1464 and the Westpark Tollway (formerly Alief-Clodine)? It looks to be an old restaurant or club...there's a patio area outside with, believe it or not, a basketball hoop. It's right next to what used to be railroad tracks, makes me think it might have been a "Westfield's by the railroad" type of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a family oriented ice house during the day and weekends. At night it was your neihborhood drunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stayed open pretty much until the tollroad was built. I don't know how old it was - I don't recall it being there when I was in high school ('84-'88).I'm more curious about the building on the southeast corner of the same intersection. It looks like an old store, but I can't tell if it's still open or not. It looks like it's about to fall down, but there are still signs and stuff on the porch area as if it is still functioning.

cowboybud Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Bumping for updates:- The old ice house is finally torn down, They're putting up a metal building on the site.- Clodine General Store was moved when they widened 1464. It's still there, on stilts. They no longer sell fireworks there; a new fireworks "superstand" opened across the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove by there on Friday and forgot to look. I did comment to my wife how much Alief and Clodine reminded me of the Aldine area I grew up in, but totally forgot about looking for the old general store.
