brucesw (post 44) Please excuse my intrusion. I ran across your post looking for a clue as to what happened with Jumbo on Westheimer. I worked at the Jumbo Superstore on Westheimer when I was ~20 & first moved to Houston (~'77) and Peter Louie hired me to work at his store. That store was bigger than anything else around. It had live seafood tanks, fish, meat, a deli, produce, shelf stable, frozen, & specialty items. All of these lines included both domestic and imports from around the world. It had everything. It was a great store accessible to all and a great layout. That building held dreams of freedom that came true and pride in a job well done (Peter Louie had escaped from mainland China when he was younger). He was an amazing man who loved that building and was always a kind and generous man to anyone who walked through it's portals. -B
