Back in the 70’s and 80’s I remember there was an aesthetic of old Texas architecture still apparent compared to nowadays. For example the “Drive-in” still was open at the time. Also, the “Old Avenue D school” aka Girls & Boy’s Club in summers where us kids would go. Back then, most places we patronized were “Moms & Pops” small businesses like “Herb’s Arcade”, “Mission Taco” & “Handy Groceries”.
I was stationed at ft hood, Texas for many years on and off. This is where a man killed people at the lubbys, me and others used to go back to remember the lost one, then they put up a plack.
Stay out of killeen as things here are just getting worse on a few different points. Murder rate and crime is out of control for a town this small. If you build police headquarters as far away from crime as they can then you get what we got here. Wages are as low as possible but rent is as high as Austin. I was offered $8 more an hour to work in Austin. Killeen is on its way out
I was stationed at Fort Hood in 1980 and that place looks the same
Thanks, Brit. Seems like nothing changed a whole lot since I lived there in the late 80s.
I was born and raised in Killeen and now in my 60’s I can honestly say that Killeen has developed into skid row!
