    That might explain why it looks a lot like Rice in the early eighties.

    It isn't on the news web sites yet...
  3. brhaltx
    Pretty much how it looked when I went there.

    I think analog clocks predate Infiniti.

    I don't think the city has any of that; property records are, I think, all county. You'd start with the county clerks' office and look at the plat; you can probably find most of that information on HCAD.

    The Tomball Bunch.

    Brenner's and Molina's still exist, at those same locations.

    I've driven by many times too, and wondered. I knew some of that was owned by the church, but didn't look any more. I really don't remember seeing them in the 60s or 70s; they weren't on the usual route to/from Palm Center.

    Grocery store shrimp is (usually?) "previously frozen"; I doubt that Hillman's (and hopefully the places in Kemah, if they own their own boats) freezes what they sell in their own store.

    Kemah (there are many places...) or Dickinson. Hillman's in Dickinson has been there forever, and own their own boats. http://hillmansseafoodmarket.com/ They do oysters too, in season. Last week, they had live crab, live crawfish (I don't think they caught those...), a couple of kinds of fish, shrimp (~$8/pound for the biggest (whole), I think), crab ($1 each).

    It was acouple of blocks north of Holcombe, in a strip center. But I think it was Brown Books... It was across from, or diagonally across from, what was a medical professional building and is now a Baylor faculty building; parking garage on the bottom with multi colored panels... I think the Baylor Clinics building is where the strip center was.

    I was thinking exactly that, then scrolled down to see your comment...

    It isn't "soggy toppings" but wet toppings making the whole thing soggy.
  14. brhaltx
    Soggy from the veggies that should have been cooked before going onto the pizza.

    I toured it when the data center was just getting started. The jail cells and operating room were still there. It had several large diesel tanks, at least two generators, two wells, and an escape tunnel that came out in a gully. There were machine gun nests in the pagodas. The office building was just as well built; heavy concrete and bullet proof glass.

    Didn't Spec's absorb Bert Wheeler's? I know it was bought by a company in San Antonio in the 90s. They don't seem to exist in Houston any more.

    I'd certainly agree with Star being overrated. I may have to try Gozzetti's... Grimaldi's in The Woodlands is pretty good, but not worth the wait when they're busy.

    It is, but they serve it with BROWN gravy unless you tell them otherwise. Last time (and it was the last time, never again), I was shocked that the BROWN gravy wasn't mentioned anywhere on the menu. What sort of heathen infidels server BROWN gravy with a chicken fried steak?
  19. brhaltx
    Fuzzy's.

    Service Merchandise. I don't remember one at Almeda Mall (there was one at Gulfgate), but since they were a Best competitor, maybe there was one at Almeda Mall.

    I think it's in the north end of that strip center; zooming in, it looks like it even says "Whataburger" on the facade. I remember that there was something odd about that location; I don't think I ever went in. "Odd" is probably that it was in a strip center.
  22. brhaltx
    I remember it being there, but I'm not sure if it was in the strip center or a separate building.
  23. brhaltx
    I remember that building... With canopies, from the late 60s/early 70s. We used to drive past on the way to Sears.
  24. brhaltx
    The one I'm talking about is still there. It's on 2920 (Main Street) near Alma and Buvinghausen. (Just east of business 249.)
  25. brhaltx
    I remember that one. I think there was a gas station there before the unmanned one...
