I grew up in First Colony and remember that Marco's on 6 in the old Kroger center too. We went there a few times back in the 90's, but preferred Los Tios across the street in the Randall's center and frequented that more often. Los Tios is still there! There was another place off Cartwright and 1092 that my dad liked that we would go to on occasion too. I think it was called Don Bravos.

Hi neighbor! I bought my house in Glenshire east last year also, but my grandparents were original owners here and lived here at the opposite end of my street until 2009. Mine is a 1975 ranch. The roofs were originally cedar shake from what I have been told and also seen in the deed restrictions. Most were replaced in the 80's and by the early 90's.

There was one there also at West Airport, in addition to the W. Bellfort and Fondren one in the Fondren Southwest Village center.

No, I know the Fiesta on Fondren was a Kroger, as was the Braeswood and Gessner location. I went to both of them, but mainly the W. Bellfort and Fondren location.

The Fiesta was previously a Kroger. I went there many times. Opposite end of the center had a Target. Its a few discount clothing and shoe stores now.

I remember that being a Kroger. I used to go there back in the early-mid 90's when I would stay at my grandma's house when I was little. Even then it looked old to me. There was a Target at the other end of the center, and a Walgreens where the Anna's Linen is. That Walgreens had a shoplifter in there while we were there once. I remember him bolting out the door and knocking it off the track in the process. I think the Kroger and Target closed when the Meyerland locations opened, maybe a few years before. I think the T-Mobile store was a Houston Cellular originally. I know it was Cingular for a while also.

The Fun Plex over on Beechnut and Eldridge was Fame City originally and had the waterpark. I am not sure what it was previously, but I remember Exhilerama at Memorial City mall. I grew up in the 90's in Sugar Land.

I was thinking it was that building, but was not 100% sure.

I remember Jungle Jims and went there a few times. I want to say it was off of Clarewood near the Bally fitness center.

I was born in 87 and grew up in Sugar Land. Things were pretty much the same here as they were up in Cypress. - 59 was still two lanes each way - Closest decent mall was West Oaks (now Ghetto Oaks) - Sharpstown mall was "ok" but not great - First Colony Mall opened in 96 and was amazing - Mainly cookie cutter homes around and typical stores such as Randalls, Target, and Kroger along Hwy 6 - Grew up in First Colony and homes were still being built in mass there - Would go to the aquatic center and park next door with the huge boat playground/fort - Anywhere north also seemed wayyy far away - Richmond/Rosenburg was out in the country I think you meant FunPlex instead of "Grand Plex". It is still there on Beechnut near Eldridge. It has gone way down hill, to the point where I am surprised it has somehow managed to stay open. The waterpark was torn down quite a few years ago and now has a cookie cutter neighborhood on it.

The Tinseltown did star becoming Ghetto sometime around 2004. I'm not sure what the Chase call center was before, but it was not Costco. The first Costco built in Houston was the one that is at at I-10 and Bunker Hill behind Lowes and Best Buy. I think it opened around 2001.

What areas of town? In Sugar Land (First Colony) we had TCI until around 97 or 98 when Time Warner took it over, the Comcast took over that when they took over Time Warner in Houston.

Phonoscope is still around. They do provide cable to some apartment complexes scattered around town, but are more know for their huge fiber network around town that is used mainly by businesses, schools, and cell companies to link their facilities.
