City National sounds about right from my time there.

They’re used to be a McDonald’s across the street from where Gattis used to be.

A Wendy's existed across the street from McDernold's.

I think the Wendy’s is still there right?

It was Louie's last time I was there.

Rally burger was in the parking lot facing Highland in 90. SuperFresh by Paradise. Man what a shitty grocery store. Mr Gattis was the Sunday lunch life saver. Kinkos next to Louie’s I believe.

No … Louie’s moved into it.. they made it look similar inside with a bar to sit at while they cook.. lots of black/white/red
They wanted more sitting and more importantly…parking.. they even set up the drive through so you can call ahead and use the window to pick up and go.
Same food and ambiance…
The old Louie’s has been a few things but nothing successful yet.. it is up for lease again.. in fairness crab queen was successful but moved to a different place they wanted.

Blimpies through the late 70s- late 80s. An attractive Asian woman owned it. That’s all I gots.

There was a bank next to the IHOP. I don’t remember which bank but a lot of students had accounts there.
Wasn’t it Louisiana National, which was bought by City National, which was bought by Chase?
so at first we were running over to it to grab cash..then we saw the pink ink and had the sads. Posted on 7/18/22 at 2:49 pm to Topwater Trout

I would go there on Friday after classes and by 4 of the 50 or 60 cent 1/4 pound burgers. That was breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday. Then hit Gattis on Sunday. Had to save the majority of my money for drinking.

Lived in Kirby, worked at Murphy's and had friends that worked at Todd Garland, so the amount of time I spent in that area was crazy.
