Tally Ho

I had the privilege to spend some of my (misspent) youth in the shadow of the Tally Ho.    It was a glorious place where 300 lbs sweaty South Texas working men took refuge at the end of a long day of waiting inline to dump their grain at Producers Mill (which I believe is now Interstate Grain Corporation).   I remember the drivers would shack up there in the cold AC, with a few beers, a carton of cigarettes and if they were lucky a lady friend.

I had the opportunity to stay in the Tally Ho in 1990, it was not as nice as it is pictured in the attached picture postcard.    Romney International Hotels still controls the property and you can read up on their history on their website.

Also, in case you're interested in mid-80's Corpus Christi grain elevator history, you can read the story about the 1981 elevator explosion at Public.
