I hope you’ll forgive me for combining two months’ worth of archive Houston Chronicle photos into one article this time around. Vacation and other news have kept me occupied on other matters these last few weeks.
You’ll see a couple of concert photos in this roundup. One was from the Kiss concert at the Summit. I was at that show, though I missed the opening act because the engine went kaput on my 93 Mustang. The other was a few weeks later at the H.O.R.D.E. Festival in the Woodlands. I was at that one, too.
Some random notes from this time period:
One last thing I wanted to point out was a quote from Sonny Allbritton, who was closing the doors on the family’s last remaining cafeteria in Houston 30 years ago. This particular location was a fixture on Waugh Drive for decades.
“You know who our biggest competitor is?” Allbritton told the Chronicle. “It’s the cemetery. If a husband or wife dies, the other one doesn’t want to come back here because of all the memories.”
I drove by it numerous times, and though I never dropped in for a meal, I really wish I had.
