Young men dress as crawfish and escorted by women during the No-tsu-oh Festival in Houston, 1913. At the time this was the largest festival in Houston, highlighted by a football game between the University of Texas and the Mechanical College of Texas (Texas A&M).

Al Pliner's 88 Keys - Piano bar in Houston in the 50s or 60s

Hi! My grandparents lived in Houston back in the 50s and 60s and my grandfather talked about going to Al Pliner's 88 Keys. I've done a few google searches and haven't found anything about it, but I did find an obituary for Al Pliner's wife, https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/houstonchronicle/name/jeannette-pliner-obituary?id=7340918, so at least I know Al Pliner was a real person and was a pianist...would make sense if he had a piano bar.

Would love to know if anyone knows anything about this bar or has photos here from the past! Both of my grandparents have passed now, and it is really cool getting to drive through Houston and see some of the places where they used to hangout.
