Houston OK's contract to design new library for Westbury, Meyerland area https://communityimpact.com/houston/bellaire-meyerland-west-university/development/2019/11/20/harvey-damaged-library-to-get-$14-million-replacement/ Over two years after Hurricane Harvey flooded the building, the Meyer Neighborhood Library remains closed, but a new library in a new location is poised to replace it. Houston City Council approved at $1.4 million contract to begin designing a new Westbury Neighborhood Library, a part of the Houston Public Library system, to replace the Meyer Neighborood Public Library. It will also house the Frank HPL Express Library, which currently occupies a leased space. District K Council Member Martha Castex-Tatum said residents in her district are looking forward to having a new library, which would be located at 5505 Belrose Drive, Houston. “Many of us know that we have been waiting for the library in the Westbury area to move forward," she said. "We have been without a true library in the area since Harvey ...We are making progress, and I’m happy to see great architecture here. The firm we selected was the 2018 American Institute Architects Houston firm of the year.”- 8 replies

https://www.hcfcd.org/Find-Your-Watershed/Brays-Bayou/Z-02-Stormwater-Detention-on-City-of-Houston-Right-of-Way-at-South-Braeswood-Boulevard-and-West-610-Loop The stormwater detention basin project at South Braeswood Boulevard and West 610 Loop is nearing the final stages of construction. During this stage, the Flood Control District is removing trees in order to add 12 million gallons of additional storage to protect the area during periods of heavy rainfall. Trees also had to be removed along the esplanades of South Braeswood Boulevard to install a new drainage pipe that will transfer overflow stormwater between the area neighborhoods and the new basins. The Flood Control District has made every effort to save or transfer as many existing trees as possible during this project. A significant tree planting effort will follow after construction has concluded which will include the planting of various sized trees to more quickly re-establish the forested canopy. However, the trees removed along the esplanades will not be replaced due to the placement of the new drainage infrastructure.

This is a lot for Meyerland. Imagine a mixed used development. Watching this. Former Armco 17-acre campus located at 9009 West Loop South. Will this be split up into different tracts or will it be sold for one, continuous tract?

Maybe I am posting this in the wrong section, but I live in Meyerland and I have often wondered why we do not have a Super Walmart in the SW Houston/Meyerland area. We have a normal Walmart off of South Post Oak and 610 (which is always REALLY crowded), but not a Super WM. Anyone else think there needs to be one?- 127 replies

Does anyone have experience with the senior living memory care facility? I believe this was once called Autumn Leaves but since changed hands? This memory care residential living could come in handly for me in the next 10 to 20 years. I wonder how this stacks up against other memory care, assisted living, and senior living options around town. Although, with the way things are going, I'm sure most children have their ederly parents live with them to save money. I believe senior care is expensive! Although, professionals might do a better job than the kids playing nursing. Thanks Website: https://www.theheritagetexas.com/senior-living/tx/houston/w-bellfort-ave/

I've always heard trampolines were very popular in the 1960s. I looked on opencorpates and wow! There was a lot of businesses registered during that time. I believe there were three, if not more, located in Southwest Houston? I believe there was one in Meyerland, Westbury, and Willowbend? I just so happen to find (due to the company spelling) a few historical items about the location in Meyerland. This was located where present-day Meyerland Commons shopping center is? Did this, by chance, have miniature golf/putt putt as well? Teen-Agers Invited To Enter 'Jump to Berlin' Contest Boys and girls of the Houston area will have a chance to compete for a free trip to Berlin, Germany, in the “Jump to Berlin” contest announced here by Paul Allen, operator of the Jumpin' Gyminy Rebound Tumbling Center at 4942 Beechnut in Meyerland-- The website opencorporates has the business name slightly different. I wonder if these were a franchise? Each operation might be slightly different by all spelled with Jumpin' Gyminy. Jumpin' Gyminy Trampoline Centers, Inc. Incorporate Date: June 6, 1960 Dissolution Date: March 26, 1962 Registered Agent: C A Parker Jr.

Any updates regarding this shopping center? It's located at Stella Link & South Braeswood. The shopping center has been doing very poorly over the years. Lots of vacancies and no remodels. Looked around on DMRE's website today. Looks like the property was sold. 9.70 acres. Future housing or a major retail redevelopment? https://dmre.com/property/stella-link-and-braeswood-9-70-acres/ Old site plan.

A little lesser known bayou in Houston called Willow Waterhole Bayou. Information here: https://www.willowwaterhole.org/flood-control-wwbayou-increased-flooding Willow Waterhole Bayou is a narrow 4-mile-long natural tributary of Brays Bayou. It flows through Houston’s Brays Oaks area—once oil tycoon Walter Fondren's ranch—and Westbury neighborhoods. In the 1940s, when the ranch land was being developed, portions of the original stream bed were rerouted. Today the bayou emerges southeast of the intersection of W. Bellfort Blvd. and Fondren Rd. and eventually flows northeast from Braewick Dr. through the Westbury and Willow Meadows neighborhoods. The bayou, Scout Lake, its weir (similar to a spillway), and the culvert connecting the lake to the basin complex can all be seen at the end of the 500-foot-long Bayou Trail, which begins at the left of The Gathering Place on S. Willow Dr.

Do any of your guys have photos or info on what I have always known as the "old Meyer property" at the NE corner of 610 Loop South & S. Post Oak, right across the freeway from the MeyerPark retail property. I know there were some scenes from a movie shot at this location, there appears to be the old footprint of a home, and there is (or was) a small retail building at the SE corner of this property that used to be a gas station ( i think ). Anyone have any citable information about this property or any photos? HCAD.org doesn't describe it at all except for the northern edge next to the bayou as being HCFCD (Harris County Flood Control District) ownership. Kevin Jackson Moderator edit: The Frank K. Meyer residential property was located at 9111 South Post Oak Road in 1967. In present-day 2022, the Harris County Flood Control District water retention pond has an address of 4502 South Loop.

I was looking for information regarding the Meyer Estate on the side of the South Loop and discovered that the Rice University Fondren Library that has a few physical boxes of archives regarding the Meyer family. One box contents says: Photos of the Loraine and George B. Meyer house on Holcombe Blvd. Overview The George Meyer Family Photos and Memorabilia contains family photos, photos of the Loraine and George B. Meyer house on Holcombe Blvd. in Houston, a catalog of the company business, and a resolution on the death of Joseph F. Meyer. Dates: 1916 - 1967. Does anyone recall this property? I am looking for photos, or an address. Thanks! http://archives.library.rice.edu/subjects/1114?&filter_fields[]=published_agents&filter_values[]=Rogers%2C+Karen+Hess

I was looking around at old images of Meyerland and came across an unusual shape in the forest land prior to Meyer Park Shopping Center being built. This would have been in the early 1960s. 1962 to be exact. I never knew about this! I wonder if this is a second, not as serious, Meyer Speedway? Looks like the race track was located at the present-day Banfield Pet Hospital located at 10275 South Post Oak Road. The track could have also had a West Bellfort address as well. It was located on the corner of S. Post Oak and W. Bellfort. Given the shape of the race track, this would have been a motorcycle/motocross track? Or possibly a go-kart track? It's not an oval shape. Looking on Google, both motocross and go-kart tracks have that similar "zigzag" shape. I know there were a few dirt bike retail stores in the area. Such as Westbury Yamaha located on West Bellfort near the present-day Taco Cabana. 1953, before Meyerland/Willowbend got developed! 1962: Larger: 2023, Meyer Park Shopping Center. The track was located where the first building is, on the narrow corner at the bottom. *and wow look at all that surface parking!! I wonder if Meyerland will ever densify and build on those vacant lots? Just build a parking garage, or two and then get rid of the surface lots!

I recently had Tapester's Grill's veggie burger and man! That burger was fantastic! I believe it was a home made patty. They offered me a frozen peach bellini as well! Great restaurant. Anyone ever shop at this retail center? The area has potential, with the abandoned police substation and water works nearby. This shopping center is owned and managed by MC Management, of the Meyer Family. Loopnet listing: Currently not available, maybe all the space is occupied? https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/4520-4534-Beechnut-St-Houston-TX/11995520/

I've been seeing a few posts around the internet regarding a golf driving range in the Meyer Park Shopping Center. Before the Walmart store moved in, there was a large hill on the parcel where the golf driving range was located. Anyone have any memories of this place? I tried searching around Google without luck finding information. I just found a Texas Monthly magazine dated December 1990 and it came with an article about a golf business called Meyer Park Golf center located at 9600 Meyer Forest Drive, Loop 610 and South Post Oak Road. I assume this was the place? Google Maps places 9600 Meyer Forest Drive at the corner of MFD and Meyer Park Blvd near the small lakes/ponds Not exactly the precise location of the current Walmart, but maybe it was platted differently 30-years ago. Looks like Saul Sellinger was the owner/partner of the Meyer Park Golf Center that was in business between the years 1989-1998. Fairway to Heaven A strike of a genius inspired Meyer Park Golf Center in Houston. Putting greens and lights for night playing are par for the course at most driving ranges, but this swanky practice facility’s five greens, elevated tee boxes, sand traps, and water hazards help you improve on a good swing. Open daily 8:30 a.m. – 10 p.m. $4.75 for a bucket of 75 balls; $5.50 for 100. 9600 Meyer Forest, Loop 610 and S. Post Oak (713-728-4941).

I did not know there was two separate apartments on the outside of the Meyer Park Shopping Center. Anyone have experience with the Meyer Forest apartments? The complex is located at 9701 Meyer Forest Dr. The property is 3-stories and is in between a garden style and a luxury development. Probably built in the 1990's since it's not a 4-story wrap that you see now. I wonder who the original developer was? It has probably traded hands by now. Website: https://www.meyerforest.com/
