America’s Team

When you think of Dallas, what is one of the first things to come to your mind.  I’m guessing that the Dallas Cowboys are at the forefront.  For a long time the Cowboys have been called America’s Team.  The Cowboys fans aren’t just for Dallas, they are from all over America.  They have a long history of greatness. (let’s try to forget about last season though.)  They hail pro football hall of famers like Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith and legendary head coach Tom Landry.  High school and college kids throwing the ball down the field long to pull on their blue and white jersey’s some day.

And now a beautiful tribute to the Dallas Cowboys… “America’s Team.”

Remembering Astroworld

Written by Moveforfree on March 9, 2011 – 12:33 pm -

AstroWorld, opened it’s doors to over 50,000 customers on June 1st, 1968.  During it’s 37 years in business it grew from 57 acres to 75 acres and also included a water park named WaterWorld. (No relation to the same named flick with Kevin Costner.)  In 1975 AstroWorld became a part of the Six Flags family when Hofheinz family sold it to the cooperation.

AstroWorld is remembered very fondly by so many people all over Houston as well as the United States.  Take a look at this newscast from before the park closed.  A lot of memories…

What better way to remember AstroWorld than through video…

1980’s AstroWorld Commercial

The Texas Cyclone at AstroWorld… gotta love those old wooden roller coasters.

No mistaking that “click click click” noise…

Thanks for the memories!
