Southwest freeway?
Cool photo.
You're right. I think that is the Southwest Freeway.

Cool! Where' the Shamrock? I think I'm seriously confused by this view.
Looks like in the bottom photo it's pretty much dead center, just under the word "street" in "South Main Street."

Humble Oil gave away little plastic models of the building at ENCO filling stations back when the building was being constructed. The toy was about five inches tall and had a weighted bottom so that it could be used as a paper weight. My older brother kept it on his desk for years up until he got out of high school. I guess it got thrown away when my parents cleaned out his room, which is amazing because they kept alot of our crap.
I used to have one of those too. They show up on eBay every now and then.

I loved Lew's Record Shop, on the north side of Meyerland. Run by a couple of guys

This is going back a bit, but El Fenix Mexican Restaurant in Bellaire at the circle, and Youngblood's Fried Chicken. Prince's Hamburgers, too.

I was a student at Holy Ghost Catholic School in the mid-1960s and it seems that they too had a F.U.N. team for a while. That was a fine little stadium at the time.

I remember the glass shop, where you could usually watch a glass blower making all manner of fragile things, and Gramophonics, the record store where I bought the Moving Sidewalks' first album, "Flash." A great little record store, run by a guy named Rob Miller, I think. They would sell Fillmore and Avalon concert posters. I still have the tattered remains of one. By the early 1970s, Gramaphonics had moved to the Village in West U. Also, I thought a Pier 1 store was out there. Or am I thinking about Cargo Houston?

And here's the other side of the brochure. It had some interesting stuff, too.
