Astrodome article - April 1, 1964.
One of the cool things left to me, after my grandfather’s passing, was a box of 1950-1980s Motortrend and Hot Rod Magazines.
I’ve been going through them to find old advertisements that I will pull out and frame (I’m a car hobbyist) for my office or general art.
I got to this April 1964 Hot Rod Magazine, and right inside the cover, falls out this Houston Chronicle. Thought this was pretty interesting given the life, history, and current status of the Astrodome.

Houston from the early 1970s - where can I see it today?
I'm working on a documentary that is set in Houston in the early 1970s. While we are in town to film interviews, we want to shoot some B-roll of locations that look as they did in the early 1970s. It could be anything...homes...buildings...parks...signage etc. Don't worry about "new" stuff that might be around like cars and such. Thank you for any suggestions!
