Hooky

I accomplished exactly nothing that I meant to today. Instead I went out for lunch with some old friends, attended a 15-year-old’s birthday party, and got my nails done with my lovely daughters. It was great!

Still feeling a bit light headed, I offer this afternoon two great photos that aren’t of Rice. They’re a couple of aerials that came to us from the Bellaire Historical Society. The first was taken in 1936:

The second is undated and you can actually see Rice in the top right hand corner. I’m hoping one of you can date it:

    Melissa,

    Thanks for the cool aerial photos. The photo looking from Bellaire to the east is about 1969. Notice that Neiman-Marcus is there but the Galleria is not yet out of the ground.

    Definitely. Herman Brown and Space Physics are present at Rice. Sewall is not.

    It’s after 1965 because the Wortham Tower on Allen Pkwy is in the picture, but before 1970 when the Galleria opened.
