jetbeetle Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Okay, this is a big request but I'm hoping someone knows. My mother used to work at Methodist Hospital back from 75 - 87 and when I would go visit her she would walk me across the street to the little string of shops to a toy store. This place was small but was loaded with Japanese Toys that no other store in the city sold. Lots of small box robot toys and stuff that were expensive but cool. They also sold buttons (I still have my Twilight Zone one). I loved this place. Now there are buildings between the hospital and the place where the store once was - not even sure the strip is there. Anyone know the place I'm remembering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I have a '77 directory somewhere - was this across Fannin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevfiv Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Ah, thanks. Just a funny observation - there was a place called the Barbarella Beauty Salon (!) right around there, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetbeetle Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 The place I remember might have had more specialty items - kinda like a upscale Spencer's gifts - I was 10 or 11 the last time I went. The only thing I ever focused on was the Japanese toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
