lokithebubba Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 On a related note, just north of Hillcroft and Main, but still south of W Airport, there uses to be a dive-through milk store called Mr Fresh. I worked there as a fifteen year-old back in the mid-70s. I would even have to close up, lock up, and put the receipts in the safe alone after 10 pm. I can't imagine that happening today.

I remember that place. Near it was a small Italian restaurant where I had my first Calzone. They were really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoneGator Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 No. Meyer Speedway and Butler Stadium were next door to each other. Meyer Speedway was the where the empty land now is between Butler and Hillcroft. I grew up in South Westbury, between Chimney Rock and Hillcroft. I could listen to track meets with my window open back then. If you look closely at Google Earth you can see the outline of the old oval. The north edge is about even with the baseball field at Butler. This is correct. Meyer was built in the late 50s - Butler in the early 60s.

ArchMemoH Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I believe that was a dry cleaners on Chimney Rock @ West Airport, Hiram Clark @ West Fuqua, Stella Link @ West Bellfort, North Gessner @ Timberwolf, Memorial Drive @ Beltway, Belle Park @ Bellaire.

jt124 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) I remember there was a Safeway and a Woolco department store back in the 80's. in that area. I went to both of them a couple of times. The Safeway was the building directly in the back and the Woolco was the building to the right. HILLCROFT and SOUTH MAIN Edited April 19, 2015 by jt124 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchMemoH Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Did that Safeway closed before Appletree Markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt124 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I believe it closed before Appletree Markets. I don't quite remember though. It closed sometime in the mid 80's if I remember correctly. There was no Appletree at that location.. Edited April 21, 2015 by jt124 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchMemoH Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Safeway was facing Hillcroft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
