Bizarre, that was my youth and my neighborhood, Hurricane Carla, the Princess hamburger drive-in and Telephone road, the beer ice houses, the Watermelon ice houses, Hempstead movie Drive-in.
Although he is younger than me, Ted Cruz grew up in the same neighborhood.
I had never heard of the song, thanks.
Actually my memory is rusty, although I spent a lot of time on Telephone road and lived on it or close to it later, it is farther from my (and Ted Cruz’s) Spring Branch, than I recall, I think I was confusing it with Hempstead highway and the Princess closer to me.
Looking at modern maps isn’t helping me much though, I need to talk to one of my Houston friends to recall.
