Tires'n' More

I'm a little unsure what "more" they have than tires and tire services, but I'm sure that if I stopped by to ask they'd be able to tell me. I also have a sneaking suspicion that that tire grid makes a good giant tic-tac-toe board.

Two for One

Two Long Point institutions separated by one dollar store: Korea House and Tostada Regia. Good jeon and great sopes all in the same shopping center. This is very Long Point.

Margo Marshall School of Ballet

This was a ballet school. I went in once, I assume the parquet floors and studio space is still there. But it's going to be torn down soon. It used to be the home of City Ballet of Houston.

Frank's Tire Shop

Frank's is at nearly the west end of Long Point, where it hits Conrad Sauer. I like the weird mishmash of stuff all over; I can practically smell the shop from this photo.

Robbie's Key and Lock

This gem has been around over 60 years. In Houston-Years, that's practically ancient.

Signage

"It is empirically ugly and totally intoxicating. The point isn't that there are beautiful places hidden amid the ugliness; it's that the ugliness itself becomes imbued with a kind of beauty, thanks to the thrum of human energy that takes root there. The tall multi-paneled signs standing outside each mall, written in Vietnamese, Chinese, English, Spanish, Korean, and more, begin to look like slabs of Rosetta stone.  "

Mendoza Tire Kingdom

Colombian flag? Rim statuary? Mendoza's has it all. #TireShopTuesday

Woodhaven Baptist Deaf Church

From their website: "Woodhaven Baptist Deaf Church is a place where Deaf/HOH individuals and families can come and be free from the day to day life of living in a hearing society where they are marginalized more often than not. A place where their language and culture is cherished and valued and is the prime focus of worship and services. "

Jung Deun Jib

The best Korean restaurant in the city is apparently this place, which is so small and unnoticed as to be almost ridiculous. But a big place doesn't always mean a good place, let alone a great place.

Vidal Tire Service

Long Point has a lot of tire shops. A lot of them have great paint/art outside. I like the colors at Vidal's. #nofilter

Ring Library

The Ring Library was opened in 1964 and was the largest and most visually interesting library in the city at the time. It's named for Elizabeth Ring, who was an early advocate of public libraries in 19th century Houston. The library was renovated in 2009.
