My father has periodically mentioned "YOUNGBLOOD'S" where he used to work when he was younger.....


I never knew it existed.......

My dad used to talk about Youngbloods Chicken too. He liked Schaefers (SP?) Barbecue on San Pedro near Jackson Keller. I remember the Barbecue sauce was put in those little square cardboard holders with the wire handles like the Chinese Restaurants use.

There was a BBQ place behind an ice house just north of the corner of Rigsby and Hackberry that had the best sliced brisket and pork roasts I can remember ever eating. I tried to duplicate the sauce and could never quite get it until I got a copy of the recipe from the owner before he closed and the bulldozers made his shop part of the Interstate. Sauce was standard honey and chilli pepper base, but the key was chipotle peppers and soy sauce. Soy sauce really made it pop! You got sweet, hot, and salty all together.

I remember that one Sunday after church, Dad asked us where we wanted to go for Sunday lunch. My brother and I both shouted "Mexiteria".
He said "no-way" Jesus said that thou must eat Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes

I guess that means you went to Luby's. Most people did back then.

Does anyone remember Richey's Seafood on Roosevelt Avenue? Back in the late 50s and early 60s, when Catholics couldn't eat meat on Friday, and my grandparents would have a family get together, they would ALWAYS get the food for us at Richey's. It was some of the best seafood I remember! It was always crowded on Fridays, too. We would call it in so we didn't have to wait.

I certainly remember the first McCreless Shopping Center but never made it into the Highlander. What really strikes me lately is how much change we've accumulated in these past several pages as shops, stores, bakeries, meat markets, ice houses or whatever seem to come and go with amazing regularity. And just a few years difference in a person's age means recalling them or not or recalling different places in the same spot, etc. Don't mean to get too heavy here but the only constant is the change itself. The past was no more static or stable than the present eventho it seems that way when we look back. Okay, so much for the passing insight that I'm sure we've all had at one moment or another.

Now let's get back to another exciting episode of GBNF.

When I was a kid, my physician, Dr. Dolph Wells had his office at McCreless Shopping Village.
