Thats the same cozy corner.. It's been there a long time.

Back then, a 7-11 was across the street at belrose and burdine.

I forgot what is there now..

Burdine and Belrose was a lot different in the 70's.

Where the present convenience store is, used to be a Texaco

station. What is now the auto repair shop used to be a Gulf

station. Then next door was the short strip building that

held the 7-11, and once had a pizza place.

That basic strip building is still there next to the auto shop,

but like I say, I never pay any attention to what is there now..

I don't know how long the cozy corner has been there, but

it has been a real long time. With different owners I'm sure,

but it's still basically the same old place it's been since the

70's. Probably the 60's for that matter..

There was a cleaners behind the 7-11, but I'm not sure if it's

there any more or not.. It's probably gone.

Willowbend and Post Oak... Hummmm.. Ya know what..

I do think once upon a time there may well have been a

7-11 there. Sure seems like it.. If it was, it would be where

the present Popeyes chicken place is..

But it was the one on Burdine where the woman was shot.

I believe she was the owner. She was there nearly all the

time. I remember her very well, as she was always getting

after us "heathen" kids who would tromp in there every day

after school, etc.. She could get pretty cranky...

I can well imagine her stance on selling beer after hours..

No way.... I'm sure she told that guy to get his heels to

clicking on down the road, and unfortunately he had a very

bad attitude.

Everyone at Westbury was talking about it the next day

after it happened.
