Absolutely! Every holiday my dad and I would go to pick up a few pies. I miss Hannah's.

Does anyone recall there being a 'hotel' of sorts in Lakewood, years ago, sort of across from where the theatre is? I seem to remember one in that approximate location. It also rented rooms on a long term basis to guests. It was 2 or 3 stories tall.

That was a little before my time - I may have been a small child when it was torn down, don't really remember it...but it was called The Lakewood Hotel. There was also a hamburger stand against the back wall of the Lakewood Theater - I have been told it was called "Snappys" but I really can't remember the name. Supposedly the Lakewood Rats shot out the windows in the 1940s.

Does anyone remember the annual event KZEW held at the Dallas Convention Center? They had booths set up, live bands, food, beer, raffles etc. I can't remember what they called it, ZEW (something). It was mid to late 70's.

I've visited Plano to see one of my Aunts twice, and it looks like we're not going back anytime soon because she's divorced now for at least a couple years, (we're in Maine) but I've been to some interesting places down there and I need help to jog the ol' noggin of mine. Keep in mind, we haven't been down there in at least 15 years (I'm using Google Earth as well).

Some places I'll NEVER forget, like South Fork Ranch; that place was AWESOME!

Buuuuuut....

I remember a 2-level mall down there, but I only remember the logo; a bird perching on a pine twig that splits into two tufts of pine needles. I remember not wanting to do the whole thing too.

I also remember a wedding/reception hall called the White Palace/White Castle/White something, and it had a scalloped roof like castle ramparts. Where is this?

Also remember a Fuddruckers that was next to a highway onramp. Same with an Irving station, but I think I found it already, and apparently it's not an Irving anymore. (this is where Coit Road and West Spring Creek Parkway meet)

There was also this steakhouse I think was called the Texas Bar and Gril. Know where that is?

I would really like to visit these places again, if only virtually...

Texas Bar and Grill is in Las Colinas
Texas Bar & Grill | Irving | pegasusnews.com I don't think they have their own website for pictures etc.

Southfork Ranch is still there.. plenty of visitors the area is being built out around it. They had the 30 year reunion last month with the cast.
Southfork Ranch in Plano, Texas, the famous "Dallas" mansion, hosts special events & meetings

2 story mall with that logo description is not familiar at all unless it changed ownership or name so they changed the logo since then. Was it in Plano?

There is a Fuddruckers in Plano not too far from Collin Creek Mall. It's on 75 next to an overpass, I know it's been there forever. I can remember eating there as a kid 20 years ago. It's located at 75 and Park, there's been a lot of work on 75 since then and the area around the mall is much more developed.

I'm gonna take a guess and say Redbird mall, but only for obvious reasons.

i used to go to mother blues and to gertie's - go in the alley behind mother blues i think- what street was that on? I have been trying to think of that -lots of good times there and at lee park-again what street?

I am sure in about 2 years we'll all be saying REMEMBER THIS............
