All things change. Time takes care of that. I am a senior citizen and I recommend that you take pictures of your home town's now, and in later life, you will treasure those pictures.

Good to hear McCann St Grill is back open. Spent some time there back in the 80s. A few more I thought of are Oxford Street Restaurant (formerly a Steak and Ale, I think), Luby's Cafeteria, Carlito's Restaurant, The Bedroom Shop, Uncle Joe's Italian, Gonzales Mexican, South Green Miniature Golf, Hagler Toyota, ServiStar (next to Payless Cashways), CHIX Bar & Grill (now Paige Pub), SEARS, Pegues-Hurst Ford, Lowell Holloway Furniture, and David Williams Collision & Repair (the best).

Uncle Joe's moved to Hallsville and reopened as Gino's sometime after the fire. Same food, we eat there on occasion and it's good.

I remember Mickey Mantle's, Burger Chef, Treasure City, Wacker's (next to Brookshire's) and Tony's Sporting Goods.

I always got my baseball gloves at Tony's.

Will need citations on all of these. Never heard of them. Especially Mickey Mantle's.

Small world eh? Played baseball through HS, was a fan of coach Turner. Only keep up with a handful of folks from those days. We had a great 20 year reunion, but the 30th went by this year without a mention. Damn we're getting old...

Ha. Loved Buster. He was made the coach over our 9th grade basketball team and had no f'ing idea what he was doing.

"Scott, get in there we need some hustle!"
"......uh, Coach, Scott is already in the game."

Shoneys in Longview- Wednesday night breakfast buffet and kids ate for a dollar or were free. We were one income family then, wore that place out and kids thought it was fantastic!

Coach Turner was great coach and man. I really loved Darby and Bates too. Coach Friday was a class act-- RIP. Dan Grahm was the GOAT! Maybe, we need to have an Ag/Pirate lunch sometime.
