OK, I swear this is a serious question!

My girlfriend is selling her house in Inwood Forrest. Her cousin in Florida told her to bury a statue of St. Joseph upside down in her yard for good luck. Has anyone ever heard of doing this?

Well, Michelle just got back from Florida and brought back a statue her cousin gave to her. Now we are ready for the

I think there used to be a Fiesta in dallas. Just 1 i think.

Fiesta Mart

It won't be long before we have "Wheel of Fortune - the Movie"! Maybe they could get Courtney Love to play Vanna?

Tbird, I would have sworn the monorail could be seen just after you made the big turn on South Main. However, the location you indicate makes more sense. I would see the monorail as we were on the way to or from Sargent or Bay City. We would have taken Almeda (current 521) to Brazoria, so we would not have been on Main.

Waxing nostalgic here, we would always come back on Sunday afternoon, and we always listened to the radio shows like Gunsmoke and Boston Blackie. It was always a special treat if we hit Christies or Spanish Village on the way.

You mentioned Jimmie Green Chevrolet. Do you happen to remember the Humble station at Shepherd and Westheimer? It was owned by a fella named Waddie Wadkins (Wattie Watkins?), and he had a deer processing facility on the Shepherd side of the building.

Thanks for the clarification on Meyer Speedway.

I wonder what color apples Macy's will sale?

School is still out, it's hot, and the gangs are restless. That's why the artwork is so prevalent. Even my cherished bike bridge has been tagged!

The blimp base was at 45 and Holzwarth.

A bit of trivia. As you head north on I-45, just as you cross Cypresswood, there is a small stand of pine trees next to the highway. That is an old cemetery. You used to be able to see it from the freeway, but the new freeway was built over and around it.

The confusion on my part was because there used to be an Eckerd kinda sorta across the street next to the Foodarama.

I think there

That new Eckerd was a nice store, but I assume it was flooded pretty good.

It

Wasn't that a bar at one time?

"Debbie Does Dallas"? Never heard of that one. Is that a new show on HGTV?

RedScare,

The new CVS is at Yale and 20th where the old Danburg

If they change the Foley*s at Northwest Mall to Macy

Somebody wake me up when they finish the Katy Freeway.

On second thought, don't bother. I'll probably be long gone by that time.

So do you think this will be used as a marketing trick to uproot the previous stereotypical plague that's been lingering over the dallas area since the 80's tv show?

In doing a search for Playland Park and the races they used to have featuring AJ Foyt and Billy Wade led me to a blurb about there being a racetrack at Arrowhead Park. I am pretty sure I know where it was because I remember seeing the monorail off South Main past where it makes the bend at the conjunction with Holmes. However, all my searches for Arrowhead came back with the stadium in KC.

Now, there used to be stock car races in the late 60

I say goodbye and good riddance!

The name

Do you mean the one across the bayou?

Out of all the grocery chains in Houston, both past and present, Fiesta is my favorite. We normally shop at the one on I-10 at Blalock or the one at Willowbrook, but even the older, less appealing stores like the one on Shepherd at 25th usually has nice produce. I love going to the Farmer

That last good Corvette was the '67 Stingray. I never liked them after that.

How about this one?

BTW, there was a post about Tommie Vaughn's passing last week.

There is only one Fiesta left in Austin - on I-35. There was one on SoCo, but it closed. There are stores in Dallas and Fort Worth and possibly one in Waco.

Randall's is - well, I could care less, actually. I detest Randall's and avoid them like the plague.

Spitting is a man

Wow, lowspark, I had forgotten all about the playground below the movie screen. You are so right that it was a different time back then.
