If anyone has the desire to understand Houston, to know Houston

Someone purchased that area at the end of 14th 1/2 about 5 or 6 years ago (I think). I have watched as a few houses went up. But I haven

I hope it doesn

Actually, that looks like it could have been an alternative plan for the Tenneco Building.

OK, so I know it

On the dead end part of 14th there were three lots bought by the same party and five houses are being built there. I lived at the second house from the bayou (next to the corrugated tin house), and we had the chance to buy the two houses next to us toward Beall.

Just another missed opportunity.

As to the house on 14th

When I was at Reagan, Long Point was the hot area for crusing from Wirt Rd westward. It's hard to look at that area now and believe that was the case.

So, smile when you call it a

The place at 11th and Yale used to be an S&H Green Stamp redemption store. I think it started out as Top Value, but later it was Green Stamp.

When a "happening bar" is no longer happening, it becomes a beer joint.

I'm not sure where the dry line is, but there is a bar called Shiloh Club on Studewood just south of 14th that has been there for well over 10 years. I doubt if Berryhill is in a dry area.

When I was a small kid the streetcar tracks were still visible along Heights Blvd. I used to play on the tracks and watched the trains operate along Nicholson. I would love to see METRO construct commuter rail lines along these same routes.
