  1. Moby and Matthews every morning.............ring a bell?

    97 ROCKED the 80' B) S!

    Still have original small stickers..........

    I remember the jokes about the 3 nuns and also the mailman song from Moby. Things I don't think would be on the radio today.

    I remember Dentler's. They were in the brown and red bag. I would always find green or burnt potato chips in each bag. I thought that was normal back then. Poor little kid.

    Cleveland Elementary had a prime spot off of Memorial Parkway. After it was closed, it was part of

    HCC. It's been since torn down for apartments/condos. I attended there around 1965-1970.

    The architecture of the original Ben Milam struck me as kind of creepy as a kid. It was brick painted green, I believe and had a long series of steps on at least 3 sides of the school. Reminded me of a Mexican pyramid. The school was dark and creepy with wooden floors. The "basement" of the school was actually the ground floor. I believe the school was built around 1915. I think it was torn down in the '80s and rebuilt. Last year, it was closed down when HISD decided to merge it with Memorial Elementary. I attended this school around 1972-1976,
