dbigtex56 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Inspired to make a little slide show on Youtube.Great job on the video, devonhart and a fascinating find. I'd never heard that Houston was known as "The Magnolia City" (per the Main @ Bell photo caption.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonhart Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Great job on the video, devonhart and a fascinating find. I'd never heard that Houston was known as "The Magnolia City" (per the Main @ Bell photo caption.)Thanks, as a one time antique postcard collector, I'd see the "Magnolia City" nickname on old postcards once in awhile, but I imagine once Houston became "Space City" the old nickname disappeared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanith27 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Climate: Cool in summer, warm in winter? Hmm....either its global warming or the heavy emissions depicted at the back of the map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Here's a scan of a post card my Mom found in her Dad's stuff. My great-grandparents lived in Houston then, on 17th Street West of Yale. My great Grandfather worked as a salesman at the Willys-Overland dealership at Main and Dallas, where the Marriott conversion of the old Humble building is. The postmark on hte back is from 1914. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
