  1. K5jri Radio; Yes I am familiar with Circle K as there are a few on Galveston Island along with 7-11 as well. They disappeared for some years in Galveston but now they are expanding around Texas in a big way again.
  2. K5jri Radiol; Sure was. Most of the time money was short though, so we just went to the donut shop down the street located at 2001 45th street and then went to a lounge/bar across the street located at 1924 45th street and played pool or to the 7-11 located at 1902 45th street. Good times.
  3. What was the name of the diner on 45th and P (now Johnny Mitchell Boys & Girls Club) that many students at Ball High used to go eat lunch at in the 70s/80s?
  4. Brucesw; I'm working on gathering pictures of the interior of Galveston (61st street, Ave S, West End, Broadway, 45th St, Downtown, Parks, etc) in the 70s time frame in order to make another YouTube video. Thanks
  5. K5jri radio; I posted that video showing photos of Galveston and the Galvez Mall under my YouTube Channel; (31) Sky Bar Wisdom - YouTube Thanks for the plug;
  6. I remember that the new Mall of the Mainland built in 1991 across the causeway in Texas City became the place to be seen and to shop also contributed to the demise of the Galvez Mall during its last years. The Mall of the Mainland was new, and the old Galvez Mall was deteriorating, and it was only a short drive and a much shorter drive than going all the way to the Baybrook Mall on I45 in Friendswood.
  7. To k5jri radio; You probably did fill up at the Hudson Oil service station (6600 Broadway) next to the mall, because it was the last gas stop on the feeder right before the I45 on ramp for those travelers heading out of town.
  8. del Railroad exhibit, the C.&W. Bar-be-que restaurant, MTI Computer services and the addition of Snack Attack, a self- serve snack display. Fullen Jewelers is relocating to a larger space in the mall in order to further expand its goods and services to better meet the needs of its clientele. In addition to new merchants, the mall features ongoing temporary tenants, the most recent being the Treasured Trails gem display. "We can accommodate such tenants on a per-week basis to enable smaller vendors a chance to display and sell their merchandise," Zuspan said. "We are not working on leasing temporary space for the Christmas season and are able to negotiate very special prices on both kiosk and in-line space." According to Zuspan, Galvez Mall's most recent early summer sales figures showed significant increases for many merchants, including Bealls, Footlocker, Zales, Royal Optical, Denny's, Fullen Jewelers, Gold's Gym and Ritz Camera. Several other merchants have noted increase in sales for June and July. "Galvez Mall has been here for 18 years and we plan to be here for another 18 plus," Zuspan said. "With the continued support of our merchants as well as support from the community, we can all work together to make this a viable and entertaining shopping center for the island." Galvez Mall is conveniently located at 1-45 (Broadway) and 61st Street in Galveston. Mall hours are 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Saturday and noon-S p.m. Sunday.

  9. I grew up in Galveston and lived right next to the Galvez Mall behind the Hudson Oil gas station which my dad Joe Hixon managed. The mall was my second home and I can remember spending many hours there in the B Dalton book store and at the movies and game room across the hall from it. If anyone has any picture of the Hudson Oil gas station during that time I would appreciate if you would post them or contact me. Thanks for the memories.
