Tumbleweed_Tx Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The Balinese was totally obliterated by Ike...next time you have a Margarita, raise it in toast to Peggy Lee, who inspired a bartender at the Balinese to create the drink in her honor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article (in the May 5th edition) states the restaurant is supposed to reopen on July 4th, the 36th anniversary of its original opening. I drove by yesterday and there is definitely activity going on inside the building. Yea! Long live the Squeeler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Another store closed was a Toys R Us off of Interstate 10 (Katy Freeway) that was admittedly struggling prior to Ike, as well as a flea market in a first-generation Kmart that already had a leaking roof. The roof is in shambles today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Disastr & marmar, I stopped by Tookies after a PGR mission Saturday. Started off with the Bombshell, then straight for Mama Ethyl's onion rings and a Tookies Cheeseburger. Had to pump another 10#'s of air into the rear air shock on my scooter before heading on back to Misery City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumber2 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Back in the mid 70's when Tookies openned, it was called S.W. Tookies. Don't know what the initials stood for but they were dropped years later. Us who worked at the Seabrook Shipyard back in those days ate there at least once a week.Another weird thing back then was the Dairy Queen, just south of Tookies, was called Brazier Foods, but still had a DQ marquee and DQ branded menu items.
