My sister lived in Houston at Place Vendome, 7600 Highland. On google maps it looks totally different now.
Going to PFA or MKY? We used to have a condo right on the road into MKY, it was fun planespotting from the lanai.Good Morning
42°, high of 48, overcast and foggy.
Yesterday went well. We enjoyed Christmas not being at our house, I managed to come back up after breakfast and fire up the smoker and get the pork belly finished before dinner.

Today would normally be breakfast with the professor, but I’m off to Palm Beach and back. Tomorrow will be Naples, FL, then I stay home for a week or two. It’s tough work……
I never lived in Houston but while I was living in Fort Stockton I drove down to Houston for an interview. It would have been in the mid 80's, drove down in mid July or August in my old 64 IH Scout 4 cylinder 3 speed trany. When I finally got to the location for the interview I walked in and just told them there was no reason to have the interview as there was no way in he!! I was going to move down there or live there, we visited for a while and I got ready to head home what a nightmare of traffic in the late afternoon, I ended up just pulling over onto a shaded spot on the median and parking. Sitting there watching traffic and visited with a couple of police that checked up on me. Told them I was waiting for traffic to die down and then I would be the heck out of their town. About 6 or so I got started driving home again after the crazy traffic had thinned down a bit.I lived in SW Houston in 78-79, lived off of Bissonet in some apartments, worked in the Sugarland Reed Tool pipe factory.
Katy to me, seems to be the world's largest suburb of nice brick home, single family homes. Miles and miles of miles of boulevards with neighborhoods on both sides. Some gated communities with modern day castles... I believe it is people fleeing the problems of the city, to get into better school districts.
also lived in LaPorte/Seabrook/Clear Lake from 80- Sep82
Last lived in Houston in 1990, on the west side between Westheimer and Richmond, a few miles west of the Galleria
If I never have to live there again, I won't regret it.
