Highrise Tower Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I was browsing an old neighborhood newspaper called Southwestern Times. The issue is dated June 7, 1945. Here's a unique business. A bicycle rental company across from the new stadium. Very cool find!! Anyone remember this place? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what stadium it refers to, as that part of Main was pretty empty in 1944 This would have been across the street from the old Rice Stadium that is now the Rice Track Stadium. Cool story is that the old stadium had a 220 yard straight line, so that race could be run without a corner.
