Isuredid, where did you find that map that says "road from Reinerman League"?

I finally found my old photos, taken the Summer of 1996, of the house at the SE corner of McGowan and Helena! I attach a screen shot of the corner as it is now, and 2 composites of the old house that used to be there. The house faced McGowan and the side shots are down Helena Street. I found a similar house to the one that was there in a Sears stock plan book from the early 1900's. Stairway would have been situated on the side of the house where there was a window halfway up the wall. The home had a sleeping porch upstairs at the back, that would allow occupants to put beds there and be cooled by SE Summer breezes. In the same way, the home owners also chose to enclose the upper front porch/gallery with windows that no doubt gave a nice extra bit of living area.

Thanks for posting the pictures! What a great house that was. All the windows. Even up in what looks like it was an attic.

I went out to the Kuhlmann Family Cemetery today on Roseneath. Went back in the woods were the cemetery would be. Near the back of the woods, next to a small gully is the 30' by 30" wall of hand made bricks. This is were the graves of this family would be. There are no markers in this area. BUT down a small slope in the gully is two marble stones that would be from the cemetery. The large one is to heavy to turn over to see if it has a name on it . The other small one is blank. These may be the bases to the gravestones that once were there. I don't think the graves have been moved. I could be wrong. Here is some pics from it.

Good Ole City of H-Town. You and I both know they didn't move the graves.

Thanks for going over there and taking pictures. I was over in the area about a month ago but I wasn't taking a hike it the woods.

They have some nice old houses there!

Yeah it's glorious. I don't have to truck my drinkin arse down to midtown any more. They greet you outside and ask you what you plan to buy so they can direct you which one to go in. They asked if I wanted wine/beer or liquor, of course my answer was "yes". The liquor one has some wine too so I won. And no cheap $6 Yellow Tail for me...I am a wine snob and only drink $9 wine that has a label I find interesting.

As for the Kroger, I have seen that guy asking for gas too. And he was DRIVING around in his car saying he was short on gas. Even funnier, I was approached the exact same way 7 years ago in a Randall's parking lot when I first moved here. It may have been the same guy, but I can't claim to have that good a memory of what he looked like.

The one thing I hate about the Kroger on 11th is the freaking pet food aisle. I never shop on this aisle, but I have been down it in other others and it doesn't make me want to vomit. But even being a row over from it at this Kroger (baby food aisle of course) and I start to gag. Dry pet food doesn't stink, so either they're watering it like the produce or someone is opening cans of dog ass wet food and leaving them there. Disgusting. I hate pets.

I work off of Yale Street and the "I need money for gasoline OR the bus" story seems to be the norm. Different people.

Regarding the smell at the Kroger at 11th, I once asked one of the employee what the ????.

Maybe to remove the shelves take some bleach and a mop and do some ole' fashioned cleaning would help!

I have pets and NO DOG FOOD smells like that any way you mix it.

Whatever that smell is does cause the gag reflex!

Did anyone ever see the lady that would ask for money at the corner of Yale and 610 Feeder where the Burger King is?

Sometimes Purple Hair. Sometimes well dressed and would change clothes mid-day. And would go up to your car and put her hands together like she was praying and start asking for the moo-lah.

Some of the dog owners that go to the dog parks either flat out don't pick up after their dogs or seem to miss seeing them going so they don't know they have anything to pick up.

I am thankful for our dog parks and usually pick up not only after my dogs but a few of the others.

I also always carry bags with me during our walks. (It amazes me how much poo can come out of something so small).

Being a dog owner I don't mind picking up after my dogs. The way I see it is that I wouldn't want it left in my yard or sidewalk so why should I expect anyone else to.

Nice shots

To this day, the murders of Fred and Edwina Rogers remains Houston's bloodiest and most sensational unsolved mystery. Countless stories have been written about it, and it's even spilled over into the netherworld of Kennedy Assassination Conspiracy Lunacy. Some of those moonbats believe the suspected killer, Charles Rogers, was one of Kennedy's assassins.

Here's another site with everything you ever wanted to know about this story.

The Rogers family lived at 1815 Driscoll St., which is in the Hyde Park section of the Montrose area, east of South Shepherd and south of West Gray behind the River Oaks Shopping Center. Check page 492-R of your handy Key Map. I wonder if the house is still there, and if it is, if the current resident knows what happened there 41 years ago.

I went by 1815 Driscoll Street today and there is now a townhome there. The house next door looks like it's been there a while.
