OK, that's hitting below the belt....Beneglish's favorite, Carter's Country.
I remember missing out on the barrels of milsurp rifles that were sold for giveaway prices when the Woolworths downtown location (yeah, right in the middle of all those skyscrapers you could buy rifles) closed up shop. I had taken the bus to work and I could not buy because the rifles I saw at lunch could not be legally stored in the federal building where I worked. By the end of the day, they had been cleaned out.I think you're talking about the place where I regret not loading up on SKSs at their out of business sale.
The name seems to ring a bell. Where was it located?Can anyone tell me what happened to Sporting Goods, Inc...?
I definitely remember that name but the location and an image of the interior do not come to mind. The older I get, the more I realize I never knew much and I'm forgetting it all way too fast.Do you remember Deep River Armory?
I remember buying my first surplus M1 Garand at the downtown Woolworth's in 1995. I entered via the tunnel and made my proud purchase. They had some carbines and 1917 Enfields too.I remember missing out on the barrels of milsurp rifles that were sold for giveaway prices when the Woolworths downtown location (yeah, right in the middle of all those skyscrapers you could buy rifles) closed up shop.

Yes! Now I remember it. I should; I used to live in the Gulfton Ghetto and it was quite close. I was in there a bunch. I didn't have much money then but I could entertain myself by looking.Chimney Rock south of 59, can't remember which cross road.
Had a buddy move into the Glulfton Ghetto. I remember like it was yesterday having a preteen girl ask if I wanted a blowjob for $5.00. Swimming pools that looked so green you couldn't see anything but green. Classy place!Yes! Now I remember it. I should; I used to live in the Gulfton Ghetto and it was quite close.

I never (and I'm being completely serious, here, unlike most things I write) indulged.So, how was it?
Baboon, just as a data point to help me with my memories of the timeline for how that neighborhood deteriorated, do you mind telling me approximately in what year that incident happened to you?...I remember like it was yesterday...
84 or 85 IIRC. After he seen where I lived in Alief he moved. I had another buddy come down to visit about the same time. His Girl friends brother lived in the Gulfton Ghetto. First time he ever seen roaches was when he went to visit. He also got shook down by HPD thinking he was there buying dope or underaged hookers.Baboon, just as a data point to help me with my memories of the timeline for how that neighborhood deteriorated, do you mind telling me approximately in what year that incident happened to you?
