IronTiger Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 This is an image from Chron's Tropical Storm Allison picture collection, taken 2001, but I can't figure out where it was taken, even when browsing over older Google Earth images! There's clues that would seem to point where it is: - It's obviously on a major freeway intersecting another road. - There's a La Quinta Inn and a Denny's. - You could also see a Garden Ridge sign, but it may have closed when it went bankrupt around this time and closed several stores, so there's a good chance it's not there anymore - Those office buildings look similar to the Town & Country or Greenspoint area office buildings. Anyone know where this is? Because I can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little frau Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Could that be the Garden Ridge out I-45 N at Airtex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTiger Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah, it was Federal and Interstate 10 now that I look at it! The hotel and Denny's are still there (the La Quinta seems to be rebranded recently), the "intersecting road" was actually a river (though the bayou at Telephone Road was one of my earlier guesses), the Garden Ridge DID close and become a Burlington Coat Factory, those office buildings are still there, and the apartments are still there (albeit renovated), though most of them were razed (floodplain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
