One of my favorite places to go was The Chicken Shack. Great sit down chicken place with heavenly rolls. Throw some butter and honey on those. A Baylor tradition. Twisted Root pays homage to the iconic Chicken Shack chicken on their exterior wall.
You know you went to Baylor pre-Magnolia if...

In college and a while after I went to this barber shop right off of Valley Mills and Speight (same shopping center as Bankston's and the CVS there) that I think was just called barber shop or ay have been University barber shop but it was all these old guys (at least in their late 60s and 70s at that time) and maybe one or two in their 50s. But a lot of the same stuff people talk about on here.
One of the guys I remember did not use clippers. You could get it as short as he could cut with scissors but no clippers. but the others were good and they all did the old school straight razor with shaving cream around your ears, back of neck, etc. and would do beard trims, etc.

It would have been 80 or 81. I remember it was the last year the assignment was used. I think it was dozens.BaylorHistory said:Way before my time, but I'm guessing they were numbered in some way in case you dropped them and they got out of order?

I'd love to see what a Chicken Shack, using the origional recipes, would do in the Cotton Patch building in front of Target. The combination of food that's still remembered fondly by many, a good location, and ample parking seems like a license to print money to me.HunterBear said:

ONLY if you remembered to code that option in the program! I remember Dr Ligon making that very important point after telling the story of poor students dropping shoeboxes full of cards and then .....BaylorHistory said:Way before my time, but I'm guessing they were numbered in some way in case you dropped them and they got out of order?

gotta find those.

I saw the sign on the pole along the interstate just outside of Corpus Christi a few years ago. Great memories!!
When you would go to the HEB on Speight to cash a $20 check for the weekend. I think it cost a quarter to do so.
You could also write checks at Georgia's and the Chicken Shack.

The Chicken Shack had great milkshakes they served in short, squatty red and white striped cups. I believe it was Leslie's Chicken Shack.

You all gathered in the TV room at Brooks Hall to watch Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell, Don Meredith and Frank Gifford

A lot of girls danced in non-Baylor approved ways there over a small amount of time in the fall of 2007.
I can still hear the General Manager doing the radio ads with his heavy Irish lilt. "Ten tirdy at the Waterworks…"
The Water Works was greatness. It was the hip place to be in the 70s-80s.william said:

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble on the Water Works stage around 1982-1985, before he hit it big. The house was a'rockin'...........
Thanks for posting that pic!!!
I heard/saw SRV when he was in the band Krackerjack when they played at the old Abraxas club in Waco, way back in 1973.
Had no idea.
(I was more interested in the Baylor girl I was with.)

Saw The Spin at Water Works and Bill Bill's (plus had them for a rush dance at the Hippodrome!).
Ate at Underwoods, JT McCords, Elite, Chicken Shack and many others mentioned that are long gone...
Didn't ask my (future) wife to dance at Melody Ranch because I thought she was giving me dirty "don't ask me to dance" looks at Melody Ranch (since she thought I was doing the same - because we are both blind, especially across a smoke filled bar). Got to dance with her the next week at Cody's though on Halloween and many nights since.
Sat at the Table of Knowledge and got cussed out and hugged by the wonderful ladies at George's that have been mentioned. Always nice to be able to walk in and have your favorite cold one brought with a smart ass comment and a smile by a lady with horrible teeth (the wait staff now is NOT what we had back then).
Ventures to 25th Street Theater for club music, the Robinson Witch's Grave, Giant Mailbox...
Watching Young Guns at the Ivy Twin theater 3 straight times when new friends kept inviting me as they walked to it while I was walking back to Martin.
Sitting at Chelsea Street Pub and watching a young rocker and his group play and then seeing them on TV months later when the ATF took down Mt Carmel. Still remember seeing Koresh's car in the parking lot (easy to identify). Remember where I was (corner of 5th and Bagby) when it went up in flames. Also got inside with the media compound one night with an old friend who drove in to see it all. Crazy seeing it that close with all of the spotlights and LOUD music...
Crazy that my main "homes" during those years are now a giant parking garage with steeples (Baylor Landing) and a giant apartment complex with it's own garage (10th St house).

Baylor Landing was a great location for an apartment. I loved living there.Knight Bear said:

I lived there when they closed which happened to be when I graduated and talked to the apartment manager and was able to buy a bunch of the furniture for like $100 to start me off as a recent college grad with nothing.

Robinson Witch's Grave! other people knew about that? And the mail box. Lots of beer drank driving around those places in the late 70's.
I know about the huge mailbox… but not the Witches Grave! Tell us more!
It really isn't all that. One of the headstones in the back of the cemetery was faded and stained. From the right angle, headlights made it look like a witch. Spooky, right? I don't remember which cemetery, by the pool off Moonlight? it's not far from the big mailbox, which oddly enough is on Big Mailbox Rd.Fat Daddy said:

Would it qualify that I went pre-magnolia that chip was two pledge classes below me?
Not only did I go to Baylor pre Magnolia, I went pre Chip and Joanna.
You know you went to Baylor pre-Magnolia and pre-Chip and Joanna and if you went to George's, it looked like this!!!

Wish I had a photo of the old slide bowling machine they had in there.
And it only cost a dime per play.

There was a story attached to it, but I wouldn't do it justice now (been too long!). Definitely a night trip with flashlights thing. Last time I went was with my girlfriend (wife) and I was driving my mom's old car while mine was in the shop. We'd only been dating a short time. Come to find out that we had a headlight out and got pulled over just as we were leaving by Robinson police. Fortunately, just gave me a warning (and a knowing look).

It is not. It is the second time since I posted that, that someone said it was on Steagall. Given my other memory failures of that era it is highly possible I'm mistaken. Or we made up our own witch? We didn't have to get out of the car to see our (fake?) witch.MrGolfguy said:This is not the cemetary by the pool off Moonlight.Knight Bear said:Robinson CemetaryLiteitup said:
