I went to school with the Yamin kids.  And everyone remembers the roach.

I had just graduated and started a job at Peat Marwick and some of the people that I started with were living there.

I thought it was Woodway Square.

Hermann Park, getting down towards the hospital. I remember that thing being about 100-feet tall.

I grew up in cypress and sometimes we would go watch movies at the Loews across from the hangar. Saw the blimp outside of it a few times.

This is super dorky but this book about the construction history of the major highways in Houston is super fascinating.

http://houstonfreeways.com/

The whole book is available for download for free. Lots of pictures showing construction, before and after, and city planning info.

Holy shit, this thread is a trip down memory lane.

I'll never forget the day I looked out my Greenway Plaza office and saw this beauty fly by (well not that shuttle)

Spent too much time and money in both of those places.  Good times.

Loved Ms. Ruth.  Carlos was a bit of a jackass.

Most of these pictures are showing up for me...am I the only one?

Oh damn Yucatan liquor stand. Such hedonism for a young guitarman.

Friendswood had one.

I was going to post a pic of Paul Boesch in front of the old coliseum, but couldn’t find it. Man I used to love that show.

Sadly, another KTRK classic from the early 80’s called TV Kid Pow! seems to have vanished from the internet. That show was hilariously awesome.
