I remember that there was a lake next to it. There was also a large thing in the pool that you would climb to the top and rock it back and forth. I made it one time down to the bubble and there were 3 guys playing cards in it. cool place. Dont remember the skating.

Well It has been 40+ years, but I remember a small lake with a little island in the middle and it did not smell like the shi* channel. I could be wrong about the lake... I went through the 60s since then:)

I do remember Liberty Hall. Liberty Hall 'replaced' Jubilee Hall which was near or on Bagby & McGowen, downtown. The Family Hand Cafe (?Restaurant?) was a block or so away.

And of course, it seems light years ago in a galaxy far far away... I was going thru a few boxes of packed away memories & I found multiple flyers for John Lee Hooker playing at Jubilee Hall on Sunday, Feb 1...but it doesn't say the year... 7-11pm. My guess is that it was '67 or '68? Maybe '69? hmmm. Opening act was Sherwood, a Houston group...

Ahh, memories are sketchy... but I'd give anything for a bowl of beans & rice from the Family Hand.

I found this website forum by googling . This is the first post I've done. I'm hoping to hear from some ole Houstonians...

I seem to remember Lightnin' Hopkins playing at the family Hand. The Beans and Rice were to die for...
