  1. Thats some good information on the Morse Cementary being posted,glad to see it.My family had history in the area sense around 1916,my father said there was a cast iron fence around in at one time,during the time around WW2,apparently during of the drive for materials it disapeared.During the eary 50s there was some concreat anchors for the fence in place.Today it looks like someones home is on part of the original plot.Whats disturbing to me is how someone got title to property that was dedicated to the community,as cementary/water works?Is there no protection for cementarys in Texas/Houston, that they can be left to neglect or worse,my concerm being for the deceased.Regards Joe B

  2. Cementary in West Oaks,I saw it as a kid in the 50s.At that time there were a number of head stones,one of prominance with the name Travis 0f 1800S,maybe 2 of children made of concreat,with the information scratched in,late on ground.Some has removed all.Has anyone else seen it,remember it when it could be recognized?There was a Houston Press story back in the 50s,a short mention of "lost cementary".Regards.Joe

  3. the post oak drive-in was at 2900 south post oak, which is right about where williams (transco) tower sits now. kprc was at 3014 south post oak (which would be behind the waterwall at hidalgo street).

    i have been trying to add pictures and now addresses to drive-ins.com if i have em :)

    The Post Oak Drive -in on north Post Oak was the same one that was near the Post Oak and Westheimer/Richmond location,it moved in the fifities.It was located near/next to Cameron Iron Works,you could watch the movies with no sound,it closed around the late 70s early 80s.Regards.Joe B
