When I was a kid and the family would make the trek to Houston from Lufkin, I remember my dad commenting that once they get that 4-lane finished all the way, Houston will be just an after dinner drive!
I used to dove hunt a place just South of Humble where the Shell Houston open used to be held. Last year we got to hunt it, half my doves fell on the pavement to that new-fangled beltway...
I remember when Gallery Furniture was Gallery Model Home Furniture and it was in 2 old model homes and a bunch of tents at 6006 I-45 North... I remember when I-45 ended at Tidwell Road. It was under construction and I used to ride my bike on the overpasses at Parker and Little York.
Course I also remember when they were building Sam Rayburn and how mad all of us were because they were gonna mess up some of the best squirrel and deer hunting in the world when it flooded... We were fishing one time in the river just below where the Angelina and Attoyac rivers came together. We were looking up this big long new right of way that had been cut through woods all the way from the river up to a boat ramp that seemed like it was WAY up on top of a big hill and a mile from the river. My dad said, "Ain't no way in hell water is EVER gonna get up there!" That's Shirley Creek Marina todday...
