plumber2 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Vargos, what a beautiful hidden spot. I'm repeating myself here, but as 10 year old kids, a freind of mine and I found a discarded brick layers mixing bin somewhere near Voss Rd. We tossed it in the bayou and found two poles and made our way up stream, acting like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Hours later we came upon a garden like paridise with brick lined trails, exotic plants, and pink flamingos (live ones). We put ashore and explored the grounds, thinking we had found the Land of Oz. After awhile a couple of guys in red coats shooed us away and told us to get off the property. It wasn't until years later that I was at wedding reciption, sometime in the middle 70's that it donned on me where I was. It was that same garden like place " the back yard at Vargo's".

HoustonIsHome Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Really beautiful setting. HOUSTON IS BEAUTIFUL.Funny, I used to live about a mile south of this area and didn't know about it. The google earth view is reconstruction, while the satellite view is after construction started. It looks like they tore up the parking lot and removed a lot of trees. I hope they do put back in a lot of trees and keep the area green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 immediately across the street at Fondren and Woodway is one of the two nice places to live on Fondren (no way! a nice place on Fondren? LIES!), and down woodway from there is an old folks home and an old Farb place. the train wreck sign has been up for a while, so I'm sure it's not some form of protest....
