Lol........... I had my picture taken on that pony in 1970 or 71 Outside our house on Buffalo Speedway- My mom still has the pictures- The guy would go door to door with the pony selling pictures...................lmao
@tjbiv2002 I somehow missed out, but my younger brother and sister both were photographed on a pony. My father passed away last year and we found a photo of him on a pony back in the 1930s in the Midwest.
@tjbiv2002 RIGHT ON!!!!! hey if someone come to your door now with the same offer how many guns would you pull on the guy for just being crazy enough to come to your door with a horse lol..now that will get you arrested lol...the good ole days huh!!!!1
Looks like the 7-11 on the corner of Burdine and Belrose back in 1959. I remember my Dad bought ice for $0.20 for a 20-25 pound bag of fresh chiped ice cube that was selected in the freezer. The trees in the background look like that site at that time. Huge front door!
Tks for the wonderful memories! I was raised in Houston and left there in '86. My Grandfather worked downtown for Gulf Oil so the memories of downtown were wonderful. Of course I can't forget Paul Boesch and Houston Wrestling. Tks again for all the good memories!!!!!
@devroshart i am the same way i miss the Houston of my youth...not the crime and nearly murder capital of the country it is now..............a good place to have been raised in our day.......i got my kid out of there 10 yrs ago when i realized she would not have the same type of memories i have of a same city. I left the same age you did.........i am now 46...something about turning that age there i guess.....lol
Is that 7-11 in the vid at 0:27 the one that was on the corner of Willowbend and S. Post Oak? If it is that's one of the ones I used to work at in 1968. I worked as they used to call it the 3rd shift 3 to 11. I was later moved to the one not to far from Westbury High School. One night at the one by Westbury as I was closing me and the manager witnessed a hippy couple having sex in the middle of our parking lot.
I'm a little young to remember some things but I do remember the Astroworld ferris wheel and that it was so much better before Six Flags took over. And I remember the Gaido restaurant on South Main. And boy do I miss 7 Eleven and Utotem stores. At least I can go to Austin and still get a Slurpee.
I had forgotten Gateway Pool (my sister cracked her tailbone jumping off the platform) until I saw this--thanks for resurrecting alot of great memories like my 4th birthday at Wee Wild West and working at Westbury Square Candle Shop and Kitirick--your videos are great!
Houston was Murder Capital in the late '70s, early '80s and the early '90s. Houston is still great!!

@raynewolfe43 Thanks for the kind words, I grew up there too, left at age 37. I actually miss the Houston of my youth, not the Houston of today.
