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.

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!!!!!

@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.

@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

@ILoveUpstateNY Are you in NY? I live in White Plains, funny thing the neighborhood I live in now reminds of Montrose when I was a little kid.

Houston was Murder Capital in the late '70s, early '80s and the early '90s. Houston is still great!!

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!
