IronTiger Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I was browsing around in a 1970s Texas almanac, and I found this for the "Astrodomain". I thought that it referred to Astroworld, Astrodome, and surrounding hotels, and I was right. I don't know what the weird characters are on the bottom, though. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2511/3955787514_1655b2cc39_b.jpg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 +1 for you. Probably the best post I have seen from you. Thank you. Come on, my posts weren't THAT bad, were they? The truth is, because I'm relatively young (< 20) and not a native of Houston, Houston memorabilia for me is far and few between. I did post an old Splashtown brochure (early 1980s) about a year ago.

LTAWACS Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Yes, I remember this from when I was a kid. Back then that hotel in the pic was touted as having the most expensive suite (The Presidential Suite) on the planet. Starting at around 13,000 a night or something like that.
