Christie's Restaurant sign, cowboy shrimp, Houston, Texas (LOC)

  This may not be Christie's -- it may actually be Gaido's, a different Houston seafood restaurant. See the thread here:

  As I recall, the sign was posted on Galveston Island in front of Gaido's Restaurant in the early sixties. My father and I cruised the seawall in the family Ford Falcon station wagon looking for green water in order to catch speckled trout on hook and line at dawn. We used live shrimp for bait on treble hooks. Eventually the salt-water slosh from the bait bucket rusted through the floorboard of the car.

Peterson's Restaurant sign, Wharton, Texas (LOC)

  I love these vintage sign photos you've been posting, keep it up! And that shrimp is clearly Texan, because everything's bigger in Texas! :)

• neshachan said:

  The sign seems to say "Petersen's" not "Peterson's" as written in the caption and title.
