10 yrs. Late but hey I'm a woman.😀
Hello, I grew up in New Caney. Oakley Edition / neighborhood. On the road they call now East Community Drive. We didn't have street names when we're growing up there. They made us get Street names for 911 services. I know alot about this area. In my day we grew up in the woods. We had to be home before dark that was the Only Rule. Good times!
East Community Drive was a sawmill. One of the old man Oakleys buried the SAW steam boiler/engine Back behind the pond. There used a big White House with horses it was about 10 acres. It belonged to his uncle believe. of course it's NOT there & now some funky new house sets there. That Pond is Deep. One of the old Oakley men own & runs the golf course hopefully he still done he was talking about selling it 4yrs.ago. Go there and talk to him he remembers alot about the" GOOD OLD DAYS "Even where the General Store was. The train station he was little but he rode on it to Humble something. When it would rain heavy. Oakley told me. Oh yes the store it was called Michaels General Store or the man owned it name is Michael, I forgot, but he told me.That man had everything in that store! He recalls all these glass bottles.
I call him Oakley because it's his last name. His first name Escapes Me. Growing up New Caney there was a lot of Oakley Brothers. If you ever hear someone refer to Old Man Oakley he was a chiropractor, on Community Drive.. that was his brother. I don't think they really liked each other. The Older Oakleys are dying off quicky not many ate left he could be the only OLD one left. I stopped there maybe four years ago to say hello & talk to him a bit. He can tell you a whole lot about what was out there and where it was! Could have old pictures too.
Please let me know how it turns out.
