    Correct, one caller at a time on air, but while waiting to get on the air you could talk to other who were waiting also.

    He also had a call in night show on KILT, in the midst of Vietnam you can imagine how heated it got sometimes. My buddy and I tried to call one night, never got on, but it was like a party line where you could talk to the other callers waiting to get on, at least that's the way I remember it, no guarantee I remember it correctly.

    I especially like the Rainbo bread ad with it's "miracle polyethylene plastic bag".

    Found a July 9, 1966 broadcast, edited down to a couple minutes and added photos.

    It's funny, my parent's generation talked about how they had to use their imagination as kids when they listened to radio dramas and comedies, and that TV deprived us of picturing stories in our heads. And told us that the reason we couldn't use calculators in class was that we wouldn't learn how to do math in our heads (which is probably true, I came across cashier who couldn't figure out what change to give when her register went down.) At 55, I'm blown away by HD TV, Xbox 360, the internet, and I do wonder if you grow up with it, does real life fall short. Not fast enough, not stimulating enough. One thing though, because I play Xbox, I have something to do with my 20 something nephews when they visit. I imagine when Samuel B. Morse invented the telegraph, and steam locomotive started barreling down tracks at 50 mph, there was no looking back.

    I actually couldn't remember, so I googled and came up with this thread http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?p=377356 which someone remembered it at Christie's. I just search here and someone recalls the crab and shrimp as being on two sides of Guido's.

    Yeah, that's the other good one, back when folks use to dress up to work downtown. Very little casual wear back then.

    Ah,Village Inn, that's one of two places I saw a streaker in 1974. A dude came running in stark naked, then ran out. The other time was at the Stella Link Jack-in-Box drive thru, naked guy jumps out of the car ahead of us, then jumps back in and peels away.

    I remember it as Officer Ken Garnett in the mid 60s, there was a Lt. Kenneth R. Garnett in a 1974 Texas Monthly google entry, so I imagine he got promoted through the years.

    I guess I didn't get my point across--among the ice cream, candles and hand blown glass, i.e., mainstream culture, was a counter culture shop. Which I thought was unusual as a kid, there was Montrose and downtown where the hippies were, and there was suburbia where the straight folks were. This weird mix happened at our house a couple time a year, my Dad's friends at his long-time hangout, a bar in Montrose (the Hut) had gone "hippie" and he would invite the long hairs for New Years Day to our Willow Meadows home.

    Inspired by the Westbury thread here, I googled like crazy to find photos.

    I only have one other memory video. It's about the South Main Drive-In.

    I thought it was a great find when I came across it on youtube. I was born in 54, so our home movies of me as a toddler looked a lot like these, cars and clothes, and hairstyles.

    I wondered the same thing, the video says South Main, but I can't remember it. Found a postcard online of it.

    There's several interesting shots of 50s Houston, cars, clothes, parades, movie box office, and a quick shot of Yatch restaurant on South Main. All the cute babes would be in their 70s now. http://www.youtube.c...Ho8RPVxdfo&NR=1

    I decided to start a new topic post a youtube video on this topic.

    I didn't even notice Kitirik was hot at the time, it was watching the kids grabbing all the pennies they could hold that entranced me.
