No Particular Place to Go: January 2009
http://texmarc2.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 15, 2009. Welcome to Rust Ranch. On old Hiway 80, just west of Cisco, is a nice piece of nostalgia. There's a collection of old cars, parked facing the road like a bunch of senior citizens sitting on the porch of an old folk's home just passing the time. My first job was pumping gas at fourteen at a full sevice Premier Service Station for 19 cents a gallon in 1967. This one appears to be a replica of the Bonnie and Clyde car.

Saturday, March 28, 2009. A Little Traveling Music. I've been on two road trips in the last couple of weeks . One quick overnighter up Hwy 287 and 183 to Oklahoma and the big mama to St. Louis for five days. So, to commemorate that trip I've found the appropriate theme song. Two Sides of Old Dallas. You can learn more about these types of houses at: Bungalows. Thursday, March 26, 2009. It's hard to imagine a time when there were no Holiday Inn's, Hampton Inns, Super 8 or even Motel 6's. My latest tri...

Wednesday, September 23, 2009. Looking Back, While Waiting To Go Forward. While you're waiting for the next "road trip" on this lost highway, cool your heels at one of my other blogs, The Alleyfest Revue. It is a look back at what was the most unique festival in East Texas as featured by Elwood (Dan Acroyd) Blues on his "House Of Blues Festival Edition" nationally syndicated radio show in 2002, just before the wheels fell off. Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Waiting to hit the road. Waiting to hit the road.

No Particular Place to Go: April 2009

Saturday, April 11, 2009. Back When Movies Meant Something. Back in the day" the local movie house and cinema was the place to be. Before television and air conditioning in the home, a local movie house provided a place to escape the dull life of hometown America and adventure to exotic places via newsreels, cartoons and feature films with stars like Garbo, Cagney, Gable, and Hepburn - so many years ago, but not so far away. Sign promising "A NEW FLOOR! Here are a few more small town Texas theaters:.

No Particular Place to Go: February 2009
http://texmarc2.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 15, 2009. McKinney's worth a closer look. McKinney's downtown square and surrounding blocks reflect a rich mix of the town's past. Here are a few "detail" pictures from decades gone by. I first thought this was an old "Hamms" beer sign, but on closer inspection I found this to be the former home of "Hamm's Home Glazed Hams" specializing in Beef, Pork, and Cheese. 1967 was the year of the "Hemisfair" celebration in San Antonio. Wednesday, February 4, 2009. You can see it on the left of th...

Sunday, October 10, 2010. Galveston Makes A Comeback. In the fall of 2008, Hurricane Ike hit the Galveston Island with a force not see since the Great Storm of 1900. But unlike New Orleans, which still inflicts self pity from the effects of post Katrina, Galveston decided to pick itself up and come back even better. Here are a few pictures from a recent trip to the island. Nightlife is also coming back as well as some great neon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Player Is At The Bottom Of The Page.

Tuesday, July 13, 2010. Cause she wrote it on the wall.". With credit to Mr. Chuck Berry, you can tell a lot about a place by looking at the writing (and pictures) on their walls. On another trip to Dallas I had the time to go back down to Deep Ellum and eat at the new Pepe and Mito's (located on Elm St.) and I found a man's man barbershop next door. Only in Deep Ellum. Across the parking lot is this mural featuring Dallas celebrities, gee which one's J.R? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
