Missing the Houston of the 80s

Anyone else miss the Houston of the 80s? Shopping at Sakowitz and Joske's, not to mention Sharpstown Mall, taking my daughter to Peppermint Park on 59, eating at Houstons and Strawberry Patch on Westheimer, safely driving without the traffic or road rage on all the freeways, a city that was pretty clean when Keep Texas Beautiful meant something to locals, old school NM before it was updated years ago, the small amusement park on the 2nd floor of Memorial City Mall where Uniqlo is now, Alabama Bookstop, and so many other places that are now long gone.
