All the businesses in Culpepper Plaza in the 90's - Bennigans, Swensens, Panchos, Hastings, the salad bar place where Napa Flats is now, the grocery store on the end, and the multiple restaurants on the other end.

Those were the Varsity Cheerleaders at BHS my Sophomore year in HS. That picture makes their uniforms look purple instead of blue. Great picture though!mgj.23 said:

Ken Martin's on E. 29th Street.
Where was this?
Any chance that you have a picture of the old Academy? There was a barber shop next door as well. It was in the center on the corner of Texas and George Bush.

Wasn't there a used bookstore on the end closest to George Bush?
IIRC, Jasons Deli was located initially on the north end of the shopping center then moved to the south end.
That was my barber shop for years. You had Leonard, Dan, John and a couple others whose names I don't recall. I remember trying to convince them come with us down to South Padre for spring break.regularjoe said:

You're correct about Jason's. I am not certain about the bookstore.

I have a picture of Jason's deli
Four for one happy hours on Fridays. Plate of nachos for the table and everyone orders one drink (and gets four).mgj.23 said:

I do but it's not a good picture. You can't make out the sign or anything.
Our go-to in the early '80s was Rebels, which had been a Chelsea Street Pub, and later became Fajita Ritas, I believe.
The Rebel Rouser was a great drink.

There was a used books store in the old post office that was on the side closest to George Bush drive. This was the very late 90s and maybe early 2000s.BlueMiles said:

Thanks.
I guess we should really be talking about "Jersey" street, shouldn't we.

Was the first Copy Corner. Not sure of the dates.
The bookstore was in the old post C.S. post office building.MiMi said:regularjoe said:

No, the strip center faced Texas Avenue South. The Post Office faced Jersey Street, but the address was Texas Avenue South.BlueMiles said:
