kjb434 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 It's most probably still there.It may be classified as a county road now. Many old roads in Brazoria county got labled with a county road number so they could get some funding from the state and feds to do some road improvements. The county roads numbers help out also for emergency situations.You may have to contact someone at the county offices in Angleton for help.

Gliddenturnipgreen Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Just thought I would sent you something that might bring back a memory. Might be after you lived in the Houston area. Approx. a year ago, I stopped in an antique store in Geronimo Texas and saw this old advertising platter and loved the color and that it was a piece from a Texas town. I did not pay attention much to the address as I loved the aesthetics of the piece. I grew up in the 70s and 80s near Houston and we shopped there all the time. This morning while eating my friend potatoes that I had put on the platter, I looked at the address and saw it as a furniture store Davis Furniture Center 8002 Chocolate Bayou Road Houston, Texas. I was struck by the road name and wanted to see where it was and if the store still existed or the building did, and came across this post. Thought I would send you a photo if for nothing more than nostalgia. I am a historian, and love a good history story/hunt. I will start my research in a bit and update you on anything that I find out. Hopefully you will see this. Hope to hear if you have found out any information on what you were looking for. Many blessings, Stacey Spoiler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
