To be honest? I would prefer to have my account closed out and deleted. Your fine, upstanding, and oh-so-welcoming members have completely soured me on being a member of this community. To think ... I was very polite to everyone I interacted with up until a certain individual decided to take upon himself/herself to take me to task for posting MORE information about a specific location mentioned in this thread. This is how contributing is rewarded on this Forum, I take it? You allow your senior members to treat your newbies like total pieces of garbage??? Nice. So yeah, people like him/her and that wonderfully observant gentleman (or is it lady?) named 'ProHouston' who like to throw stones at glass houses; chiming in and butting in and just in general, commenting on things they have really no business commenting on since it doesn't affect or involve them personally. Yes, ProHouston ... one final slap in the face to you since you decided to be judge and jury, buddy. I think you're much more of an arrogant (expletive deleted) than the first (expletive deleted) I was referring to in my post. You stuck your nose in where it didn't belong ... so you got told off in a very distinct manner. So, if you don't mind, sevfiv, I'd just as soon have the account deleted and go my own way, please.

There was also a Games People Play location off of F.M. 1960 on Kuykendahl Rd. It was close to Steubner Airline Drive. An old family friend and her husband were the property managers / maintenance managers plus my boss used to work there when he was a teenager. Remember when the Chuck E. Cheese at the corner of Kuykendahl and 1960 was a Showbiz Pizza Place?

Channel 20 - KTXH When the tower was under construction, the newly launched KTXH-TV used the tower for their local broadcasting. Months after the tower disaster, KTXH borrowed the transmitter located on the Allied Bank Plaza (now Wells Fargo Tower) in downtown Houston.

Um, the thread title is "Cruisin' Westheimer" ... and I've seen quite a few comments about Westheimer west past 610. Don't be so hard on the guy. Lower Westheimer and the Montrose area is nothing but skid row now anyway ... one of the dullest, most sterile places I've ever seen compared to what it was back in the early to mid 80's.

I grew up in Ft. Bend County and went to both Mo. City Jr. High and Willowridge High School during the heyday of the so-called Smurf "gangwar". 1981-1984 (Mo. City Jr. High) and 1984-1988 (Willowridge) Yes, the Smurfs were out of Willowridge; matter of fact, I had several childhood friends back then that were part of the Smurfs. However, all the hysteria and hype was just exactly that - hysteria and hype. Yeah, it was a gang; no doubt about that, but the Smurfs weren't the killers all the rumors made them out to be. They were a bunch of 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 year old juvenile delinquent committing petty crimes across southwest Houston, primarily in the Fort Bend school district and part of southwest HISD (Madison, etc.) I think the furthest north that the Smurfs ventured was in the Meyerland area and then back across to 3rd, 4th, and 5th Wards back down to Almeda Rd and 288. The older crew that the Smurfs patterened themselves after (the blue color) was Fort Bend's own chapter of the notorious L.A. gang, The Crips. Crack, prostitution, petty thievery, and gang violence were just starting to become prevalent out in Ft. Bend right about the time I started Willowridge as a freshman, so naturally these knuckleheads wanted to act like bad-a**es and imitate one of the most notrious gangs in the U.S. The Smurfs dissolved right around 1986 - 1987; I was in between my sophomore and junior years and I can remember hearing the main principle at Willowridge (the late Ed Glover) talking about the gang having been disbanded by the Ft. Bend Sheriff's Department. Needless hype and hysteria over a bunch of ignorant juvenile delinquents.

cryofan - are you positive that you went to elementary school in Stafford? I've lived in Ft. Bend County (S. Post Oak & W. Ridgecreek) for 39 years and I know of no school in this immediate area by that name. What years did you attend this elementary school? I grew up out here, so I'm very familiar with all of the elementary, secondary / junior highs, and high schools that have been built and attended since 1960 through 2009. I've completed an exhaustive search of FBISD and Stafford ISD schools and there are no records of an elementary school by the name of Jefferson in Stafford, Missouri City, Sugarland, Arcola, Fresno, Richmond, Rosenberg, or Kendelton. Are you absolutely positive that was the name of the school?
