My first home had a bunch of the 2 prong sockets. I tried to replace them with grounded 3 prong sockets but I was told it would not be up to code unless grounding wires were there to ground the socket. If not i would have to run ground wires throughout the house. My house did not have the third grounding wire so I left them alone until we did a major remodel.
I’m 22 years older. As I said, fairly recently. My family frequented restaurants of all types all around SE, south and central Texas and my memory goes back to the early 70’s. First time I was ever offered pre-sweetened tea was in a restaurant in Alabama in 2000. I recall it because I had to try it and it was way too sweet.
The Skirvin Hilton Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City. I had a client in OKC and more than one of the employees swear they had ghostly experiences there. One guy said he woke up and somehow shaving cream was all over the bathroom mirror. I’ve heard that NBA teams refuse to stay there.
Good thread topic. Hard to rank them. My first time to Tony’s in Houston in the late 70’s when I first experienced fine dining was a great meal. In the mid 90’s at the Grill Room at Windsor Court in NOLA before my first 5th Circuit argument the six course meal was amazing. At the time it was rated as one of the best restaurants in the country. Then there are several trips to NYC restaurants that all meld together. But the Tony’s and Grill Room meals really stand out.
Same here for the potatoes. And because I like both cream and brown gravy, I get my CFS with cream gravy on half it and brown gravy on the other half. Then I dip individual bites of the steak in ketchup.
Houston/SE Tex country music fans loved him. He still holds the record for most performances at the HLSR with 33. At UT I had several friends from Dallas Jesuit who went to school with his son, Dion. They would bring him to our frat parties in the early 80’s. Nice guy.
The first time I experienced sweet tea was in the deep South in the late 90’s. It’s big in Mobile, AL. They always ask if you want sweetened or unsweetened. It was not a thing in Texas until fairly recently.
