  1. Sorry guys i know this is not the best forum to ask for help but maybe there is somebody out there who understand something about Devisenhandel.

    Well i read this article online about the forex being a good thing and all but i have heared that people get ripped off a lot.
    This is why i am not asking this on a forex forum cause over there everybody will tell me that the devisenhandel is a great thing and all.

    So my question is if somebody has experience with this here?

    Thanks,

    Marty

  3. What about Playland Park and Alameda Stables. The main barn at Pin Oak Stables was beautiful, I remember many wonderful, magical times at the Pin Oak Charity Horse Show with Joan Robinson-Hill. Subdivison now i guess. I wonder if they saved the barn at all.

  4. Ah…Pin Oak Stables…..what a beautiful place. I only got to see events there about three times before it was sold and replaced by one of those mega malls….a real shame.
    I also see mention of Almeda Stables where as kids we rode horses and played Minature Golf. And further down South Main was Playland Park and the auto race track. Loved that big rollercoaster and the Tilt-a-Whirl. Now, does anyone remember that great big horse racing track on OST across from where the Colt 45 ‘temporary’ stadium was built? Around 1957-61 a Monorail train/track was built where the horserace track used to be. My father helped build that Monorail–the ‘future’ of transportation.
    It was opened to the public to come out and take test rides. We never did hear ‘why’ it was never put into use….made too much sense, I guess. It’s done a pretty decent job at Disney Land.
    And how many of you can remember that at the corner of Westheimer and Post Oak was a lone Post Oak Tree in a huge field. Not too far from there was the Post Oak Drive-In and the Channel 2 quansethut studios with all those TV towers. Post Oak road was a two lane road from Memorial west to South Main.

  5. What happened to Peppermint Park, The Carrousel Hotel, The Dinner Bell Restaurant, Valient’s Restaurant and the Safari Room Restaurant? The pony rides at Telephone and Park Place during the 50’s and 60’s ? The cafeteria with the escalater on the outside going down to the cafeteria downtown?

  6. We need the original mono rail system that sat in front of Hobby Airport and later was moved to South Main, what happened to it? This was the future to come in the late 50’s or very early 60’s when it appeared. Underground Houston at Market Square in the 70’s is it still there or has it disappeared like Underground Atlanta? When and Why did Old San Francisco Restaurant and the Red Velvet Swing close, what a great place!

  7. Would love to hook up with you old folks that can recall things like Wee Wild West on Westheimer; Bill’s Grill on Telephone Rd; the TeleWink Grill on Telephone and Winkler Dr; Vallians Pizza on S. Main; Christies and younblood’s Restaurants; The Crystal Gateway Pool on Main (with the “bubble”); the big duck on the front of the Post Oak Drive In (along with the swings and slided in front of the screen for those kids bored with the movie); Putt Putt Miniature Golf on Westheimer; Playland Park and the racetrack behind it?

  10. Peppermint Park is just about where Beltway 8 meets 59 and it is now some kind of a car repair place. I drive by it daily and you can see where it had once been Peppermind Park (the noisiest place on earth). My 16th birthday was at the Carrousel, but it is gone. It was the L & C Cafeteria that had the cafeteria at the bottom of the escalator. Many many Saturdays after shopping at Foley’s and 3 Sisters, my girlfriends and I would eat there and ride the bus home. Valient’s was great and I guess has just been absorbed into the Medical Center. I can’t remember what corner Kapans was on or what corner of Main Crystal Pool was on. Anybody no.

  11. Does anybody know anything about a Radford’s in Houston? I have a 1918 postcard that shows the interior. Appears to be a nice soda fountain with marble columns and counter on one side cigars and other shelving on the opposite. Upstairs with walkway and probably an office where the owner could keep an eye on everything.

  12. Does anyone remember the knight on horseback at Sonny Look’s? Or the homecoming rallies on Tanglewood Blvd or having to decide whether you were going to go to Lee or Lamar from Rogers Junior High? Yikes
