Anyone remember the local medical examiner in the 70s and 80s, Dr. Joseph Rupp? He had his own radio show for a while, and gave an interview on a public access tv show named the Bardo Matrix Show. It was really funny without meaning to be.

There used to be a barber down on CC Beach, who hosted a late night scary movie show on KRIS-tv on Saturday nights.

Anybody remember Mondo (I think that's his name)? Was supposed to be kind of like the "What's Happening in Corpus" guy. During commercial breaks on Mtv, he would tell you where the hot spot was for the coming weekend.

You're kidding,right?

No I am not- where you eating in a red doghouse with Woodstock the bird? LOL

Thats the only snoopy I know of...

Food joint underneath the JFK causeway, island side. Good food, and a very relaxed atmosphere. Very Padre Island kind of place, before the developers took over.

I ate at boat and net a few days ago just because I havent had it since I was 5. good lord it was awful.

WOW!! I just found a black and white pic online last month of the intersection of Everhart Road and Lexington Blvd (later known as SPID it said). It looked like a narrow too lane road and I think there was a Texaco on the corner. That must have been in the 7os or even earlier...I love seeing things like that. i enjoy reading/seeing the history of towns. My guess is SPID came along during this whole interstate craze?

Al Dean and the All Stars performing at Woolco on some Saturdays---the strip club was the Hiphugger at one time --Lichensteins downtown; Woodlawn theater; the Yellow Rose; Nolans steakhouse; going to Padre Island before Kennedy causeway and having to wait for the swing bridge, Burger Chef around the corner from Del Mar--traveling "all the way from Portland" to CC, Calallen,Robstown, Kingsville, Tuloso-Midway, Flour Bluff, West Oso, Taft, Sinton, Aransas Pass, Rockport, for Friday night football games--

I remember we would go every week to Schanen Estates swimming pool. Whatever happened to the pool? LOVED the waterslide

There was "Burger Chalet" across the street- we would go there after swimming

"Wolfies" changed to "Legs" later, didn't it? It was in about the same class with "Bottoms Up". Not that I'd know anything about that ......

Troy McClure-Big Simpsons Fan? Whats the latest movie you have starrred in LOL

Does anyone remember the old Sambo's? I think it was ayers. It was close to what my family used to call the "spider web"- all the brides between SPID and the Crosstown Expressway. Whats occupying the old Sambo's building?

Not sure what's in the Sambo's you're talking about, but the former Sambo's in the Bluff is now housing a Jalisco's.

1.) Heavy metal concerts at Memorial Coliseum (Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Ratt...)

2.) Diamond Gems and Alladin's Castle in Sunrise Mall

Not so favorite memory - mandatory bussing. I got bussed to unairconditioned Cunningham in 7th grade when Haas was just down the street. The bus did go in front of Wolfy's every day on the way to school though.

I think there's a hotel where the Sambos on Ayers used to stand.

I remember going to the Sambos on Ayers as a little kid and ordering off the tiger menu Those were the days...then some idiots decided the name was racist and got the name changed

I never knew there was a Sambo's in Flour Bluff

So what happened to Schanen Estates Swimming Pool and to Burger Chalet?

I remember the Hersheys Hotel from when I was a kid. Loved the gift shop full of chocolate.
