BudB & GWhopper:
I think Jones kids might have gone to Jeff. I know each year, we had our Monticello party there where the annual was distributed to the students and we would go around each other and get autographs from fellow students. I picked up my 1960 and 1961 annual at the Kit kat Klub.

Default Serna elementary

I was a student for 1 year at Serna Elementary on Loop 410 back around '73. I would have been a part of the Mac class of 85. If anyone remembers, I was in Ms. Copelands class at Serna, and if you got sent to the principal, Ms. Gerza, you got the paddle. I was wondering if anyone had any info on the old white house just adjacent to the school. It was on the West side, and back then it was in disrepair. Being young, we all thought it was haunted, and if you kicked the ball over the fence during kickball/recess, you were screwed. Any info?

Default FrostBros

Thought i'd share some photos taken about a month ago in tribute
to the Rhodes/Liberty House/Frost Bros department store building at Wonderland.













Now, does anyone have any photos of the Liberty House interior or exterior that was here in San Antonio.... ?

My wife just told me she was PG with our twins last time we went to Fargo's. Would have been 1984 later half. Think they (Fargo's) were gone soon after.
Which now has me wondering When did Chucky Cheese and Show Biz crank up here??

I also think that Shakeys and Fargo's were here at the same time and I think fargos closed in the late 80's.

You may be right, I am pretty sure the first Fargo's I went to was in Thunderbird Hill's. Near Southwest Research. Off Callaghan. I'm thinking mid 70's. Friend of mine's brother worked as SWRI and lived in T Hill's. We'd stay there on an occasion after a wild night at Randy's Rodeo!! Last Pizza Inn I recall was on SW Military Drive across from Kelly up on Security Hill! Was it you Will that said that was a Pizza Inn at I-35 and Military?

Yep!! I guess it was Culebra and Callaghan there was a Movie theater on north end of the business center and Fargo's was on the south end. What was it Benrus that came up off Bandera to that area !! Been a long time used to know that area pretty good. We were going to Randy's 72' and 73' ish!! We went to that Fargo's probably 74' or 75' not long after that they built one at Flores and Military Dr. Hey D.F, remember the little bar across Callaghan from Fargo's?? One of those cover names in case someone asked where you were. I can't remember.
