I would visit Howards Fun Shop whenever I went to downtown Houston with my dad. My dad a
was the Continental Trailways bus terminal manager in the 1960s and Howards Fun Shop was right around the corner. I remember buying the "grab bags" for 25 cents.
I also remember the electric shock gags they had in there. The lady in there was always tricking me into getting shocked by picking something off the counter!

Hey all you Bellaire kids were the rich kids in my opinion!
I lived in Sharpstown in the 1960s. My grandparents lived in Bellaire and I always thought Bellaire looked so mmuch nicer!
