Houston is a city with a great history, but one that isn't celebrated nearly enough. Using footage from the University of Houston's digital library, YouTube user devroshart has put together this wonderful walk through Houston's nightlife circa 1960.
I remember visiting many of these restaurants with my parents. Anyone else?
One of my first great restaurant experiences was a trip to the legendary San Jacinto Inn. Located in the shadow of the Battleship Texas, it was an all-you-can-eat extravaganza. The building we visited was built in 1927, and sadly closed its doors in 1987.
This video fondly recalls the restaurant, the staff, and the food. I'll never forget those amazing biscuits.
