  1. I wanna say Holcombe at Main. Near the old Oilers practice field (unless I'm thinking of something else).
  2. DO NOT....THROW ANYTHING....INSIDETHESAMHOUSTONCOLISEUM....YOUWILLBEARRESTED. Good times.
  3. What's the story on the cemetery @ Bellaire & Dairy Ashford? There's a state historical marker there but I've never taken a closer look at it.
  4. The Beatles' only Houston performances were at the Coliseum. According to the book Elvis in Texas, Elvis played the Coliseum for two shows (matinee and evening, commonplace in those days), 10/13/56.
  5. All the General Cinemas that I'd been to (Greenspoint, Willowbrook, Northline, original Meyerland) all had the same red and blue color scheme and the same red and white seats. At some point in the 90s, they did come up a new version of their "coming atrractions" that was more orchestral and less 70s/cheesy.
  6. Was this in the Safeway/Eckerd's center? I don't remember it, must not have been around long.
  7. That's the All-Star game actually. The playoffs start in April.
  8. I had a chance to go through some of the stuff today....wow. Excellent job, Mark. Brought back a lot of memories. I graduated in '85, so we've probably crossed paths a few times back in the day.
  9. They would have to win out (at Buffalo and at home vs. New England), and several other scenarios would have to play out for the Titans to make it in. It was too little, too late for 'em this year. The Saints did clinch the NFC South today due to Carolina losing. Who else clinched a playoff spot today? > I agree, the 33 point margin was much closer than I expected. Solid effort by the Texans. I'm told they're already working on David Carr's bust in Canton.
  10. Texas Stadium opened in 1971. It will almost certainly be torn down or remodeled into something other than a football stadium.
  11. They had a proposed site at Fair Park, but Miller didn't want to spend tax dollars on places for men to play their man sports.
  12. I don't think the shadows will be any worse than when we play a noon game now (or a 3:00 game early in the season).
  13. Correct. Although those two years just happened to be the years that M. Jordan was doing his baseball thing. Just stating a fact. Well, if you count league/conference championships, the Cowboys have 8 NFC championships. And if you go to the World Series and get swept, does it really count? Plus, 30-odd Oiler seasons with no championships. Minor league. Who can forget those thrilling games against Manitoba and Grand Rapids? Soccer only counts as a sport in Mexico and Katy. WNBA In 45 years, I'll be dead and the Texans will still suck. Include only actual championships and take away soccer, minor league sports and the WNBA and it's Metroplex 6, Gallery Furnitureplex 2.
  14. Indeed. All anyone remembers about SB38 was Janet Jackson's boob.
  15. Hell yeah! If we beat the Giants, I think we can go all the way. Romo is awesome. >
  16. It was still there last time I was in the area. It was being used as a printing facility and additional office space by the Chronicle.
  17. That's sad. I remember it being a lot bigger when I was a kid.
  18. My brother in law has a "Zooberry Jam" album.
  19. Hey, just wondering...was last night's 50-0 loss the worst in Aldine history? I don't remember them taking a beating like that in my lifetime.
  20. Although there were homes already built in the area, Greenspoint never really took off until the mid-70s when the mall opened, then other businesses, office buildings and North Belt sprung up over the next few years. The area continued to grow until turning ghetto almost overnight in the late 80s.
