Question - Were they Charles Chips, or Charlies Chips - Tan can, brown writing - leave the money on the can when they delivered the next batch

I remember a really good steakhouse off of 1960 called "Texas Tumbleweed".  My parents used to take us there in the early 80's.  I also remember a decent mexican rest. called "Monterey House".

Anyone else remember these?

Texas Tumbleweed - I remember going there pretty regular, but it was a different location, but I remember Monterey House more - Specifically the candy that was mixed in with the chips - Almost pure sugar in a wax paper "bag"

The Shakeys I remember was out at Wilcrest and 59 - The building is still there - I most remember going there with my YMCA football teams and they had this video game where you were on a motor cycle and you jumped over barrells or something like that - Black and white monitor and sketchy audio - This thing predated Space Invaders

Well it is used for some things, and it would probably cost even more to maintain a roller coaster/skating rink place.  Also there is now a plan to use the stadium that looks somewhat promising.

Starlight Skate was located at the corner of Beechnut and Cook Rd out in Alief - Should be the Northeast corner

I also remember us going skating at a roller rink (1962-64) that I think was on IH-610 west of Gulfgate Shopping Center/Mall.  Was there such a place in that vicinity?  Or in this case, has my memory failed me?

Depends where on Bellaire you are talking - Out in Alief there was a skating rink called Great Skate between Cook and Kirkwood - First place I ever held a girls hand
