But when growing up in Houston he was a different cat. In this Prime Property Past essay, Crossley recalls the 1950s, when all roads led to Stuart’s Drive-In. He and his teenage friends and rivals gathered at the hamburger joint’s parking lot, near South Main and Old Spanish Trail: Coming down South Main in the early evening we’d all start to organize the way we were sitting in the car, working for coolness as we pulled off the street and into the huge parking lot of Stuart’s Drive-In Restaurant, the primary node of teenage action in Houston in the 1950s. Rows of cars with mostly teen-age boys watched us come in, slouched down in our seats with a couple of fingers on the little triangular window that used to be on doors of cars back then. Why everybody wanted to look like they were really short is kind of a mystery from this far perspective. We cruised up and down all the rows in first gear, moving slow, glancing around to see who was there, good guys and bad.
