I was working at West U PD during this place's heyday. Drunks would roll through West U on Buffalo Speedway that kept the city up in fines for a long time

My Dad operated an Humble Oil service station in College Station, Texas from 1942 to 1978. It went from Humble, to Enco, to Exxon over those years. It was a full service station with vacuum cleaners on the poles by the gas pumps. Cars coming in got a full vac, windows wiped down, under hood checks and tires checked if you got 5 dollars worth of gas or a fill up. The station was at East Gate of Texas A&M 

How about The Breezeway on south 45? When did it close?

I saw this name tonight on this post. Pucho. Around the late 60's my future and ex wife were walking down around Market Square and we ate at a place called Mama Pucho's. Could this be related to Purple Onion?

Before El Meson we went to El Patio there. 

Wow, 4 years old, but thanks. That was it.

This thread is the pick me up I needed!! Can someone please tell me the name of the Chinese restaurant on the 3rd floor Galleria 2 in the 1980s?? I always wanted to eat there but when I finally grew up and got my first job I went and it was on the verge of closing down.. To help out with the location it's was where the Abercrombie and Fitch store is.. 

Szechuan East. I can still smell the sesame oil odor when I walk by that area of the Galleria. It was a hopping place back in the 80's, don't know what happened why it closed

I don't remember seeing it, but does anyone remember getting dressed up and going to El Chico on South Main to sit on the second level to people watch? Used to really enjoy that place.

What was the name of the Mexican restaurant on University?

I know this is an old thread, but I married into the Bailey family in 1972. Before the marriage I met Bob Bailey at  his house on the bay. He died about a year later. Marvin Bailey, who had been working at the studio for I don't know how long, kept the studio running; his specialty was not so much photography, but videography using 16 mm film. He had the contract to do all the Rice basketball games, not sure about the other sports. My brother in law, James Bailey was also in the business. Marvin took all our wedding pictures and when he gave them to us, they were all 8x10 color prints, about 50 of them as I remember, all at  no charge. My wife and I got a divorce later in 1979 and I lost track of the Bailey studio after that.
