KTRK Wilsons Robbery 1984

Opening from a rebroadcast of weekend newscast on KTRK. Voice over by Charles Harrison, who also happened to be doing the weather that night.

That Wilson's store would later be a Service Merchandise store through the rest of the 80s.

It is clearly close

[@RazorFoxDV]

@@SharpstowntheotherDanMal-ld3nc I'm pretty sure it actually is (or was). I recognize the distinct facade. It's on the Katy Freeway between Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center and Mac Haik Ford. The building has a new facade now as it houses a gymnastics center.

[@SharpstowntheotherDanMal-ld3nc]

It was abandoned
