"Comedy clubs" weren't really a thing till the 80s.

The building burned down about 10 years ago. There was another hotel there, not sure how long it was a Ramada.

Fort Bend EpiCenter - Multi-Purpose Venue In Rosenberg
cowboybud replied to ChannelTwoNews's topic in Points Southwest
AEW Wrestling coming to the Epicenter on October 18th. Live telecast on TBS. Looks like a great place for minor league hockey and/or arena football. -

Looks downright rural. Is that Bellaire Blvd. toward the end of the film? Is that HS football stadium on the same site as the current stadium?

There was a barber shop in the lobby frequented by Dr, Neil Frank.

Good Ole TV Newscast archives from the 1970s & 1980s
cowboybud replied to Blue Dogs's topic in Houston Television
I always found it strange that channel 39 copied the font used by Fox 26 for their logo in the late 80s/early 90s.- 49 replies

Fondren Elementary School At 12405 Carlsbad St.
cowboybud replied to little frau's topic in Historic Houston
Historic Aerials has an "E" shaped building on the site in 1953, 1957 and 1958, and what looks to be the current Fondren Elementary from 1962 forward. Full Disclosure: I work down the street. It's an interesting mix of industrial/warehouse, relatively new duplexes, a trailer park and old houses. -
Century Motor Motel Court At 8803 South Main St.
cowboybud replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Historic Houston
The current yellow lot at NRG. There were no-tell motels all along South Main by the dome, I think they shut down sometime in the 80s.- 1 reply

Hager Park At 12100 Landsdowne Dr.
cowboybud replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Other Houston Neighborhoods
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (around 1975 actually), the summer day camp I was in used to go to a movie at the old Meyerland Theatre (usually a Don Knotts-era Disney movie), then to Hager park. I remember the indoor basketball court. -
Or a chase scene like the Blues Brothers. Of course that particular mall sat abandoned for over 30 years before finally being demolished about 10 years ago. Add West Oaks to that list. With the theatre closing, there's literally nothing there except the Fortis School.

Race Track On Dunlap St. & South Main St.
cowboybud replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Historic Houston
I'm told the department store was a Globe. It was something with an auto repair department, the overhead doors are still there. The future International Ballroom. https://www.concertarchives.org/venues/international-ballroom-9f8ac876-9893-40c5-9aed-8a6ef9b4622f?page=1#concert-table- 1 reply

Barry's Pizza At 6622 South Main St.
cowboybud replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Historic Houston
They also had a location across from the AMC theatre at The Fountains in Stafford. Also in Hobby Airport! Miss them. -
You sure that's not Meyer Speedway in the pic? Asking cause there looks to be a high school stadium in the background....

Palms Theatre On Highway 90 At Ulrich St.
cowboybud replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Historic Houston
It is on cinematreasures. http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/15583/photos/162439 Was actually located at Hwy 90 @ Ulrich. If you look at the daytime photo (with the Sugarland Express marquee), you can see in the background the building which is now the Foster Law Firm.- 11 replies

Clodine General Store At 6511 FM 1464 Rd.
cowboybud replied to theoriginalkj's topic in Historic Houston
The building's gone. According to a poster on Nextdoor, the land sold for $1 million. The good news is, it won't become yet another gas station/convenience store because it's too close to FBISD property to sell alcohol. Someone also noted that the store was seen in the movie "The Sugarland (sic) Express" which for some reason I haven't seen. -
Clodine General Store At 6511 FM 1464 Rd.
cowboybud replied to theoriginalkj's topic in Historic Houston
Went by the general store site today. Looks like the land's been sold, they've cut some trees down and it looks like they're about to raze the store and houses on the property. -
There were also radio studios in the building, the old KAUM/97 Rock had studios there.

A few years ago I ran across a local hip-hop act with a "song" called "56 Airline" (the Metro route from Aldine/Greenspoint to downtown). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXEnJf4SgJk Greenridge north represent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKY44B7WMHc (Both videos NSFW language)

Clodine General Store At 6511 FM 1464 Rd.
cowboybud replied to theoriginalkj's topic in Historic Houston
It would be smack dab in the road if it were moved to its original location. There is some roof damage in the back. Surprised the local homeless aren't squatting there (or maybe they are)...
