some memories of meyerland - circa late 50's-early 60's
Uncle Lew's records - got my first 45 there, still have it; it had those listening booths;
agree it was next to Playhouse Toys as mentioned in some other posts
I learned to drive in the parking lot on Sunday's after got my learner's permit - my Dad would
take me over there.
Madings - haven't heard that word for a long time - that was a drugstore, right ?
I recall a Walgreen's at Meyerland with a lunch counter but maybe it was Madings ?
anyway, I remember the cherry cokes there or even regular cokes, that were made
from the syrup put into the glass first, then the carbonated water - really good !
separate water fountains - good topic for another thread - I had same experience with my parents as the
poster to this thread who mentioned about it.
I remember Lew's Record Shop. I bought all my old Beatles albums there. I remember the listening booths also. I used to love hanging out at Meyerland. I remember the eating area in either Woolworths or Walgreens. I remember their pet store that sold baby aligators. That's where I bought my first ID Bracelot for my girlfriend at Lovett. That was our sign that we were "going steady". I recall the great carnivals that set up in the parking lot, and the great fireworks displays.
Anyone remember Dipper Dan Ice Cream across the street from the big mall?
Those were wonderful days. Although the current mall is nothing like it was. I am thankful that they revived it and it is thriving. I just moved back to the old neighborhood a couple of years ago, and just love it.
