I think the restaurants are all gone now, but they still make the frozen steak dinners in the stores. I'd be curious if anybody knows their backstory.
Where was it located by?

I remember that restaurant on San Pedro. It seems to me that it was in the same area that the old Globe store was. We ate there a couple of times and I remember telling my dad that sonce they served corn fed steaks that is why the TBones tasted like corn. My folks likes Lubys better. They always went to the one on Bandera by the Brunners store.

I believe the 2 districts were 15 and 16 AAAA (now AAAAA). If memory serves, the schools in each district were:

15
Edison
Highlands
Jefferson
Lee
MacArthur
Alamo Heights

16
Burbank
Brackenridge
Fox Tech
Lanier
Harlandale
I don't remember the sixth team...

I believe these were the districts until the fall of '66.

This was before Roosevelt and Churchill opened, before McCollum, etc. I think that Marshall existed, but wasn't 4A yet. I don't think Sam Houston was 4A then, either. Wheatley was still segregated and played in the Prairie View league.
Marshall (old Northside High School until renamed in 1960) might have been included then because it grew large enough to be split for the opening of Holmes in 1964 and then split again for Jay around 1967.

I remember when Jay opened...thought Holmes opened in '66, but could be wrong on that one. The northwest side was the boondocks back then!

When I was a kid, we considered the Jefferson area "northside" and thus "elite". Marshall was where the country kids went, since they still had FFA!

I haven't lived in SA since '84, although family is still there. Hard to believe that some areas we considered upscale have gone down.

I remember having to go to Broadway to eat at what we considered a "fancy" restaurant!

It was on San Pedro in front of the Old Kmart (may have once been a Globe Mart before according the previous post, but I am not sure I remember that). For a long time the Container Store was on that site, then even a Gateway store. It was right across from where the old EggHead software store was (Geek Alert). Behind North Star Mall. Not sure what is there now, haven't been that way in a while.

I could be off a year or so for Holmes too..anyway, yea, boondocks is a good word for the northwest side back then. Marshall was always the "kicker" school because of the FFA and Ag which was at Marshall until O'Connor High opened in Helotes and now I think it has the FFA chapter.


And I'm glad this thread has been so well-received...there's many of us out there with long memories of good times growing up in SA and this thread only proves it!! Let's keep it going as long as we can... It's coming up on a year since I started it...Saturday will be one year...Happy Anniversary and thanks to all that have contributed to it!!
