Intresting stories about the 80s in Houston?
As someone who wasn’t alive to see the 80s nor had any family here that lived at the time, I seem to be fascinated by many Houston stories going on at this time. Examples
The 80s oil crash that had a led to a local recession
The rise of Compaq during the personal computer revolution
Continental Airlines establishes its hub at IAH
1981, Houston was the murder capital of the US and had its record year in homicides
ZZ Top was at its peak
Many of Houston’s tallest buildings (including the tallest in JPMorgan Tower) opened during this time
The ups and downs of this decade are mind blowing. Anything else worth noting?
