So many great old photos and articles that I just had to
open up a new page. In addition I recently uncovered
some old cards/photos that I had been just throwing onto
my harddrive over the years. Hopefully I can remember
why I had been saving them. As I edit them for size I
will throw them up here. Putting them up just as I find them.

| 16th St, later Gulfway Drive at Houston Ave. Used to be where the West Side started. I remember Heights Drug into the 60's. | Doesn't look like her but this is Jane Russell with the Mgr. of the PPier. Probably one of those benefits for Texas City. | I liked this photo of the Sub Courthouse. | Very early photo of the KCS Depot. We had a jewel back then. | It's labeled Lakeview Swimming Pool. I never made it there, those of you who did will have to verify this. |

| The 40's and early 50's cars make this about 1950. Hope Leo Hebert sees this. | Our very own Linda Tatum. The date is in the title, Feb 20, 1962. | Junior High? Another one of those pics that I have no idea where I got it. | Couldn't do much with this photo but what is there is great. | This is great because the date is there, 5-18-1918. Yes, over a hundred years ago. |

| Christmas Parade in 1940s. Used to have a lot of parades in PA. One of us might have been there. | Fished many a day on that concrete wall. This had to be the 40s or 50s. | Left this photo of Rose Hill rustic looking. | Newport Cafe? Another great old photo. | Newport Bar? Not sure where this was located but great detail in the photo. |

I believe this was on 7th St. as I think the school still owned the property until recently. |
Listed as PA Chamber of Commerce 1955. Names on back. |
PA College. That's the KPAC radio tower. Great 38 Chevy? |
Not sure but looks like the WT Grant building. |
Great detail from high up the Goodhue Hotel. |

Probably the start of the Museum of the Gulf Coast. There's that Fredeman woman again. |
Notice this is listed as THE PA High School. |
Wonder where this was located... JK.? The address 4540, so HE Austin and myself agree it could be Proctor. |
Can't tell much from this view. It just says PA. |
Someone wanted to be sure and see Jimmy Gambrell as in the title. Motorcycle cops..? |

| Any old photo of the Federal Building Post Office is good. This one shows how close Goodhue was. | Another PA News photo of "our girls" in Jr. Hi. | Another photo of just how popular Pleasure Island was. | Don't think I went in this store more than a couple times. Unusual to have a Super Market in a downtown. | The first PP Bridge. What's great here is we can see just where that old hotel was located. Where the Court House eventually was built. |

Wow. Even the PA Jail was segregated back then. |
A 70's Olds? Probably not long after this when LUPA took over the library. |
First time I saw this photo was old friend Gerald Thibodeaux sent it to me maybe 15 yrs ago. |
Another view with a different perspective. See more of the city here. Interesting on the back..

Too bad she was never identified. Interesting on the back....
