Blocking new wars by Herbert S. Houston. This book is a reproduction of the original book published in 1918 and may have some imperfections such as marks or hand-written notes.
Tucked away in the far corner of Houston, Texas is a community of memories named West University Place. It was here that I learned the importance of family and friends, the secrets of childhood hideaways, the value of a nickel at the corner drug store, and first real long pants. With a pasture as a backyard, days were filled with adventures as a cowboy chasing bad guys, kites flying on a mile long roll of string, or lying in beds of cool clover with my dog, Topsy, on a summer day while watching the sky-writers spelling out PESPSI COLAĆ¢. It wasn't all make-believe in West University Place. Valuable learning experiences were offered that became the foundation of my later life. The pastures are now covered with homes, the corner store is gone, the air raid tower long since removed. However, West University Place has had a rebirth and has become a highly sought after place for young people to raise families. This storybook community is in their hands now.
