Don't know the reason for the change but Rossmoyne is now Yoakum.

Hmmmm... maybe they will fail the traffic study àla Ashby Highrise?

Bastrop (as in Heights2Bastrop)

I think the Tropicana pool was at 6000 Telephone. Where the current low-income (or elderly?) low-rise apartment building is located.

I think the original vision was to connect the two mac gregror's together running along braes bayou.

Technically, she no longer has agents. She sold her company to Bill Baldwin and he renamed it Boulevard Realty. She is now an agent for Boulevard and he is the owner.

it is true...if you were looking 10 years ago.

Do you remember what wing the Game Peddler was in? My memory isn't so good. Thinking the Wards wing but not certain. Didn't they have D&D, other RPG stuff, and board games?

found your north houston theater at brunsonpark's link above (great link - thanks!) http://www.americanclassicimages.com/DesktopModules/CATALooKStore/MakeThumbImage.aspx?ID=%2fPortals%2f0%2f1%2fT%2fTX417.jpg&PORTALID=0 It was at 8718 Jensen

I believe there was a store called the Game Peddler (not Player) at San Jacinto Mall - when the mall first opened.

CasaRez on Edgebrook. and then stop by Baskin and Robbins for dessert

Where i used to live, the small diameter line (maybe 3/8") for the gas lamp was teed off at the base of the gas meter, it had a shutoff right there, and then it ran underground to the front yard.

"Style" is in Pearland and the other one is across from Hobby.

I've seen it but i can't tell you what it is. I just figured it was to get attention for his business.

I guess my memory is playing tricks on me. I thought i remembered it as an Alpha Beta.

Dating myself... Groceries: Skaggs-Alpha Beta on College (near University)

Marvel McFey on the bottom right. Not sure who the frog-looking character is on the bottom left but it is one of Marvel McFey's "enchanted animals"

I don't think Fertitta (i.e. Landry's) owns Joe's Crab Shacks any more.

yeah..I went to the meyer park location too and then I moved to the SE side and started going to the Almeda location. i think i got a couple of cd's there...maybe Nirvana's Nevermind. Now where is my flannel shirt?

Phar-Mor was more like a Super-Walgreens. All the same stuff walgreens has but bigger and more selection - but not as much stuff as a wal-mart. We used to take our film there and rent our movies there (since they were cheaper than Blockbuster).

If you have a friend that lives in Pearland, their recycling center will take oil-based paints

When Auchan first opened it was far from depressing. It also had several chain restaurants inside as well as the little shops up front. i remember Taco Bell being in there and i think there was a Mc Donald's too. There was nothing else like it in Houston then (1988). This was before the Super Walmarts and Super Targets and such. I think it just went down hill as the area transitioned and other "hypermarkets" opened. The South Loop store was smaller than the West Belt store. It was also much less a novelty when it opened. I tried to shop there regularly for groceries but could never find a good selection for what i bought. I hated the meat selection most of all. And they routinely had only 2 checkouts of their 100 open.

my 1957 phonebook shows the Mc Donalds drive inns at 2302 wayside (right by the 69th st bridge) and at 6339 South Park which would be almost next door to the later Golden Arches above that opened in '72

I think Hartz also had the Kentucky Fried Chicken "rights" in the 60's and early 70's
