I'm going with San Francisco for the super bowl pick, I really believe they are the stronger team, but then that's why I watch it on TV and never played it. Baltimore got all the breaks and Atlanta got really lousy calls a few times. Sometimes I think they might as well just ban football they have the game so screwed up an sissified now.

Ok, go Atlanta and go San Francisco, I once liked New England but since I saw that scumbag Kerry sitting in the owners box I just wrote New England off as a team I dislike for keeping company with the traitorous likes of a kerry. asshole

Impeach this imposter in the white house before i...

Houston is out there playing like it was a high school game, no emotion what so ever. Houston will never win a super bowl, not in my life time.

All these shootings have been going on for ages, now every incident is world news, the media is the single worst instigator of all our problems. Just turn it off! Pay more attention to what legislators are doing behind our backs and closed doors, that's where the real danger lies. Be sure and vote any of them out if they trample our 2nd amendment or any other. Our real enemies are in DC, let there be no mistake about that.

The socialist in the white house say they don't need congress to pass gun control regulation, what say ye all. All I want to know is when does the shooting start cause I don't want to miss any of it.

They photographed what appeared to be a flower, as they call it, on Mars! now I think it looks like a sandwich baggy but then that's just eyes that are well worn probably playing tricks on me.

Hello My Facebook Friends: I want to stay PRIVATELY connected with you. However, with the recent changes in FB, the "public" can now see activities in ANY wall. This happens when a friend hits "like" or "comment" ~ automatically, their friends would see our posts too. Unfortunately, we cannot change this setting by ourselves because Facebook has configured it this way.PLEASE place your mouse overmy name above (DO NOT CLICK), a window will appear, now move the mouse on “FRIENDS" (also withou...

This is my Church , Baptist Temple. When I went there in the mid 50's there was no Bell Tower and only one front entrance with the exception of a small entrance to the bible study rooms on the front of the building. Overall the building is in poor condition, due to low attendance no doubt. It was one of the prettiest Churches in that area with a very large membership, all of the across street area to Yale belonged to the Church and was full of cars each sunday. Vacation bible school and sports was also promoted as well as swimming classes for the youngsters down the street at Hamilton Jr High. I was in the choir at that time and we won a state championship singing at the historical Baptist church in Galveston where the finals were held. The only singing I now do is on my way to the diner table.

For the very first time in our Nations history the washington crowd has declared war on American citizens with this bill passed last evening. At the drop of a hat they can now use our own military forces against us when they and they alone decide we are the enemy. People you better wake up and put and end to this tyranny and vote every one of these outlaws out of office, your very life could depend on whether you choose to look the other way or demand this bill be struck down as unconstitut...

Every slime ball out there is sending bogus emails trying to phish banking information. Delete all that garbage, credit cards, free this free that. You can just about bet everything you get other than direct mail from a person you know, is a scam, and even then sometimes their mail is compromised. I think the entire world now has more corrupt thieves than good people, I know for a fact a bunch of them reside at the white house.

I will never understand how the neighborhood I lived in over 50 years ago is now so important to be called historical. Looking at most of the past business establishments that still have structures standing things don't seem to have been embellished equally when it was decided that it should all be historical. The Blvd was then and should now be the only zone that is historical, other than the Blvd there wasn't anything out there in the early 1900's. I once remember touring the inside of the large two story a couple blocks down from Hamilton Jr High, that home was truly historical and this was on or around 62 that we toured the house with other friends and family. I love old photos in the early 1900's showing people's yards with nice wrought iron fences and cows in the front yard, if they could look down I'm sure they are laughing at all the bickering. Progress is like a steam roller and everything should be considered temporary, our lives are much shorter than Progress. Priorities are not as important as they once were, we all have too much time to dislike everything around us.

I quit the club scene around 80 so Stabler's came after that I'm sure, I never even went to MO & Joes or Roy Head's Club, although I lived on the North side. I guess we just get older and change, so I left Houston in 82 and only came back for a couple years. When I first got out of the Army I spent a lot of time downtown and everyone kept dropping the name of the Stampede Club, that was the happening club in 1970, never did even see the place. I can remember Jensen Drive as a kid and there were what were called ice houses in the 50's, every block on Jensen had an ice house or two, the name ice house was simply because even in the fifties Houston still had a functioning ice house at the edge of downtown and all the businesses or ice houses did not use refrigeration but bought ice everyday or every other day. They all had these aluminum bend over reach in ice boxes and they iced the beer and sodas down, you won't ever find a beer as cold as one that has been in the ice for several days. These people were very creative too, I remember one place that had a garage roll up door and you just lifted the door and the bar and stools were sitting there, they all threw out the bottle caps into the parking lot area to fill holes and dips. The one thing I remember most sitting there as a kid with family was the Oder of fresh saw dust, yep they always threw down fresh saw dust on the floors, a nice cool fan overhead and a big Jukebox, life was grand until the law makers all destroyed it.

You must be talking about the Winchester Club that Issac played, and the Yellow Rose. I managed to go to the Yellow Rose one time and it was a bit crowded with the layout. I did go to the Winchester often, but home was the Wells Fargo.

I have searched now for one hour and found nothing mentioned, can't recall what the place looked like but I left Houston many years ago so I mostly remember the Blvd starting from the Chimney Rock area. Hate it when you can't find any photos of an area from an era past. Somewhere there has to be some aerial photos and they will be in a real estate property owners log and all taken from above. I specifically remember these log books were used in the 70's and all brokers had them, you might ask someone in real estate if there is a source for those. I did have a friend that leased an automotive shop there in that specific area in 74 but my memory was turned all upside down after I returned home after 25 years and I couldn't even find the coffee shop across the street from this friends old shop. Too much change for me!

I never was at the ice house but I do remember people that worked in Pasadena mentioning the place, most were all refinery workers and welders, it was a daily ritual for a lot of those guys to stop off after work.
