Houston Texas Vintage Gulf Freeway Signage 1970 

this was so cool,i was born on feb 6th 1970 we lived on the good ole north side of houston haha and we had a beach house in jamaica beach galveston and every weekend we went there and during the summers,so i saw all of these signs,wow GREAT VIDEO FOR ME,

I love these images of the highway signs of the Houston area of Texas in 1970! This is part of our history and of Texas history as well.

Thank you . Brought back so many memories growing up in 70's and heading down to Galveston for the weekend. Dots Coffee Shop still looks the same and so many company brands that are gone now.

Just turned 65. Memories of trips to Galveston in the 70's. Great video 😃

I used to go Gulfgate Mall back then. Watch this video bring back alots of memories. Time fly 😢

We lived in Arlington square apartments when we first moved to Houston. My mom was a single parent paying $65.00 per month in rent while working for Kips big boy as a waitress

😂 it took me a minute to figure out why Tori Mask sounded so familiar: you always have those excellent pictures on the Facebook Almeda Mall page! 👍🏼

What a nostalgia rush, thank you Tori

Wow, does this bring back memories. Having grown up in Clear Lake in the 70s, was so cool to see the old signs that I remember

Thanks for posting this! I haven't lived in Houston for a long time now, and when I do go, I hardly recognize it. This was a nice trip down memory lane. I worked for three summers at AstroWorld and it still breaks my heart to see the signs and know what happened to it.

We lived off the Gulf freeway in 1977 Villa Monterrey Apts

I loved foleys when it had the flower logo

Thanks for isolating the screenshots so we can actually view and appreciate all the retro signs.

My mother worked at Vogue Shoes in downtown Houston her senior year of high school! I remember a lot of those signs, especially Fingers Furniture!!

Gulf gate mall , seen Star wars there the line to see it went over the freeway walkway , lived by Strawberry park apartments And off Red Bluff Road ended up living in La Porte Texas. What memories.

Really would like to see a video in the 70s of the North Freeway from 610 to Greenspoint.

This is an excellent video! Wish there was more. I moved away for a few years but have spent most of my life in the same home we moved into in ‘77- right off Gulf Freeway and Griggs Rd. It looked just like this even into the early-1980’s! ❤️

What’ a great video! So many things that we miss. Love all the Galveston stuff. I still have a banner hanging in my house from Sea Arama. Thanks for the nostalgic memories !

Brought back lot of memories, finger was the furniture store. Gulfgate mall, worked downtown Foleys now macys

I bought a motorcycle (Kawasaki 100 ) at the cycle shop on 1:39. Liked the gas prices at 2:40! Thanks for posting. A lot of memories.

Hello there, I used to live in Houston,Texas We move too Dallas , tx I have family in Houston. We do go for the holidays. Christmas and Thanksgiving. I miss Houston. That's my home town.. I remember going too the beach Galveston. Clearlake. Watching channels 13 news.

Yes. Sea-rama! I remember that place. And Dot Coffee Shop. 👍🏻

Memories! Thanks. Nice work.

Thanks! That was a nice drive down memory lane.

Astroworld, Sea arama marine world, Winegardens, Shakey's pizza. I want to go back, these days suck.

I was born in Houston in 69 , I remember a lot of these places ,in 76 we moved to Casper Wyoming

As a southeast sider I remember most of these. Good stuff!

A time before everything turned into chain restaurants or strip shopping malls with chain stores. Individuality, that is what I miss. I especially remember the Brook Mays organ store and of course the Astroworld signs (was a kid in the early 70s) I forgot about Burger Chef. We probably stopped there on our way back from spending the day at Galveston. McDonalds were few and far between back then. Good memories, although 45 south turned into a rough drive once Houston started to expand

Fingers Furniture was an exciting place to explore as a child

Those new home and gas prices are about ten times less than today.

Those days are no more. Gulf Frwy is not the same. I miss all those well known stores, auto dealers, when Gulfgate was popular, and when Almeda Mall grew. Oh and Gulfway drive in. 😢

I wish I was born in the 50’s or the 60’s. Nice video, by the way.

my grandmother was controller of fingers for 16 years.

8:04 Could flights from Galveston to Houston (IAH) still be feasible today? Granted Texas International pulled out of Scholes Field a couple of years after this was shot, but another airline (Metro) took over the route.

Que bonita la ciudad de Houston Texas soy mexicano pero como quiero a Estados Unidos de Norteamérica vivo en México pero mi se quedo allá 😭😭😭

miss the 90's houston hate this new houston

My aunt used to tell me about the Cinema theater that was across Gulf Gate Center . She saw Star Wars I think when she came back from UT Austin to visit her family . Interesting pics

Shiva's Headband. awesome!

The First Hutchings-Sealy clock sign was up when the bank became NCNB Texas. Wonder if it's still there as BofA, or did some hurricane destroy it?

Awesome video, this is 1970? Or 70s?

No spiked ball across from gulfgate mall😢

How about the Polar Bear at Slade Travel across from Fingers in the Glass Building at night?

That was the good old days

Does anyone know what use to be on the southbound side south of Fuqua? Before the current strip center/tackle store/ car dealerships

I was born in 87 so I didn’t get to see this stuff. And I live in Pasadena

28 cents for regular gas.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaarvin Zindler... Eeeeeeeeeeeeye Witness News!

What a load of memories. Thanks for the trip. I was really excited to see the old mcdavid dealership sign and the huge coca cola sign off telephone.
