Do You Remember?

In a post back in November, I remarked that most of Houston's great landmarks are being replaced by strip malls and chain stores. I asked you to remember the great landmarks.

Well, I just came across a great list. I may be showing my age, but I remember most of these great places. Do you?

- Guido's (remember the shrimp and crab sculptures in front of the S. Main restaurant?)
- Sonny Look's
- Sakowitz on Main Street
- Jim Jamail and Sons (world's most famous grocery store that's now a car wash)
- The field that used to be Astroworld
- The Amtrak station

On a good note, there are still some great places around:

- the Astrodome (they haven't demolished it yet!)
- the Battleship Texas and San Jacinto Monument
- Courtlandt Place (grand homes)
- Space Center Houston
- Saint Arnold's Brewery
- the Downtown Tunnels
- Galveston - Sea wall and strand
- Hermann Park and Miller Theater
- Warren's Inn downtown
- La Carafe (oldest commercial building in Houston)
- the Petroleum Club
- the Magnolia Room

All for now,
Lisa

P.S. I'd like to add Kemah to the list, but not sure which list to add it to... as the old Kemah restaurant area was so much cooler than the new "boardwalk".
