Wow! Reading the comments above brings back memories. We moved to Dallas (from Lubbock) back in 1968. We lived on 65th just a few house up from a public swimming pool that was right where 65th bends into 64th.
i can remember many summer days of biking to the pool and swimming a few hours then heading across University to the drug store that was across the street. After that, my friends and i would hang out behind the drug store, riding our bikes along the tin fence that enclosed the Golden Horseshoe Drive-In until at night when the movies started.
My favorite memory of the drive-in just happens to be my last. Laying on top of my parents station wagon, watching this cool movie called “Planet of the Apes” and laughing really hard and loud when Heston uttered that memorable line “Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!”
Good times!!
It just so happens that i will be in Lubbock the weekend of 09/22-23/2012 and am hoping to drive around checking out the houses we lived in, etc….
