Norhill Heights - Houston, Texas
Back in the mid 1980s while driving with my father, he informed me as soon as he saw the Schlein Deli and Catering building, that it had once been a drugstore...plus his dad, my grandfather, would occasionally work there as a fill-in pharmacist back in the 1930s or early 1940s. I was stunned and immediately stopped my car and grabbed this shot. Heck I lived 3 blocks from the location and never heard a peep about this. This was/is part of the original Norhill Heights Business District (developed in the 1920s)....which I think was about one block long. Ain't family history fun!? Especially when you can take a photo to authenticate and document it. :-)
Today Three Dog Bakery operates where Schlein's was. It's a bakery for dogs. True story. :-) The barber shop closed years ago...but I took my sons there a time or two back yonder. The car wash is gone....replaced by a massive retirement home.
