I miss Pino's the most. I go to their place in Bryan when I can but is not the same.

One of the oddest places we used to frequent as a kid was Western Travellers BBQ on hwy 90 in Sheldon. The front half of the place was a typical western BBQ place with wagon wheels and john wayne pictures and clunky wooden floor. The back restaurant was a seafood place you went to a 2 story back room that was themed with polynesian huts and an artifical creek fed by a water fall and the walls and ceiling had glowin the dark stars. My dad would get us the shrimp platter and it was all you could eat. It burned down in the early 80's.

WOW! Blast from the past!

I remember sitting in the little kids booth that you put quarters into to watch reel to reel cartoons while my mom and sisters shopped at Sage. That AND the fresh made carmel corn.

Good times, good times!

OH, and always stopping at Wink's BBQ for lunch afterwards! It also is long gone. They had THE best ham sandwiches ever!

I remember Globe, too, but it doesn't hold nearly the same fond memories.

And the store on the East Freeway that is now a Fiesta.....between Federal and John Ralston Road. Can't believe that I don't remember the name. Gemco? Something co!
