JGRIFF: Would it be possible for you to share that photo here? I checked the link you posted but could not access p. 286. Would love to see the photo of the drive-in next to KPRC! Was there many times as a child, brings back so many memories. If you can't post the photo, is the only way to see it by purchasing the book? Thanks so much!

Wow, that's a fantastic image! Now I recall how dazzling it looked to me as a kid when it was all lit up at night, and the thrill of walking down that path through the wagon wheels to the back dining room door. Thank you so much for sharing this!

By the way, do you have a photo of YE OLDE COLLEGE INN? I'm feeling pangs of nostalgia for some of my old favorites. I'm a baby boomer who grows to appreciate Houston's past all the more, as I sadly watch so much of our cultural/architectural history disappear. But your photos keep it alive and revive old memories, thanks again!

Thanks so much, John. I will check out that link. Thanks for sharing that memory of Valian's too! It's good to remember those days.

Photos or postcard images of the old Valians Restaurant (pizza)from 50s? I tried to access one posted by Subdude but it was blank. If anyone has any to share I'd love to see them. Thanks!

I grew up in the 50s in Houston and I would love to see an old photo or postcard image of Valian's Pizza Restaurant. It was located on South Main. Does anyone have any? Thanks!
