I miss Houston. I grew up there, but my dad moved us away in 1986. Thanks for this!

@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.

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!!!!!

How about Love Street Light Circus, The Cellar, and cruising Westheimer from end to end! Westheimer was a freak show for sure. It had a draw of people from everywhere. Used to go to the Hyatt Regency just to go to the Spindletop. It was fun to go fast in the parking garage at the Savoy Field. How about that waterfall at the Transco Tower, and an ice rink inside the Galeria!

I used to go with my Grandpa to Kaphans on Saturday nights when my grandma was out of town and he didn't want to cook. Some good seafood there and waiters in white tuxedo jackets!

My dad worked at Kaphan's as there pastry chef his name was John Nielsen. He was from Denmark first started at Simpsons Dinning car. That guy sponsored my dad to come over to this country back then!!! I'm guessing I wasn't even 2or3 years old at that time!!!

H&H Music in Sharpstown Center, Wacker's 5 and Dime, Wee Wild West, Griff's and Taco Bell in Bellaire, Shipley's Donuts, Globe Discount City, Saturday kid chaos at the Bellaire Theatre. Forgot about U-Tot-Em. I'd collect soda bottles for 2 cents each and buy candy, then read the comics for free. And ditches, lots of ditches full of snakes and turtles.

I grew up in Channel Area, Galena Park, Jacinto City, Pasadena. I recall most of these stores, restaurants and CARS! One of my fave TV shows was KiTiRiKs Carosel! WAY better than Howdy Doody! I remember Matress Mac from the 70's. Nice guy, actually.
