There is activity in a corner spot of the new retail building. But I didn't get close enough to see a sign of the new tenant. There is a Panda Express going up across the street in the Lowes parking lot.- 239 replies

When is the tour? I didn't put it on my calendar. Is anyone planning to go? Anyone interested in a Houston Mod meeting to go together?

You need to make sure that Realtor holds an open house the day of your Housewarming/Oscar Party.

I love country music, and I think the line up is boring. Seen it all before. Maroon 5 may not be country but they were one of, if not the, most popular shows last year. They may not be country but they sold out first last year. With George there this year, I'm sure he'll sell out first.

I'm so sad. What a great building and landmark. Couldn't they at least save the great glass feature along the roof?- 160 replies

Just reported another one. Why can't people keep their cigarette butts in their own car?
-
I'm a big anti-litter person too. I regularly report litterers to TxDot's website. At least weekly I spot some jackass throwing a cig butt out their car window onto the ground. So I keep pen and paper handy to write down license plate numbers. TxDot can't fine them, but they send a letter stating someone saw them litter blah, blah, blah. It's not much but reporting jackasses gives me joy for some reason.

Well crap. Just what I didn't want, a chain restaurant that I don't even like. Stubbs Cycles will be happy, Hooters is known for organizing bike rides.- 239 replies

Palm Center Shopping Center On Griggs Rd. At MLK Blvd.
stolitx replied to musicman's topic in Historic Houston
Found this online - "In 1956, Gulfgate Mall opened to great fanfare as the first enclosed mall in Texas." First in Texas, not just Houston.- 99 replies

Correct, the Globe is now Mervyns. Across from the Foley's that is now a mall anchor. But back in the day, there was no mall in Pasadena. We just cruised Foley's. And they had a little music section that sold records.

Here's one of the slogans I remember from Sage billboards: Rudolph shops at Sage, red knows (nose) You know those billboards are one of the things I remember specifically from childhood that first got my interest in going into the advertising field.

Check on the post on Gulfgate in the East End folder. Lots of great photos and stories of what was there and speculation on what they may be adding.

Gulfgate Center At 3111 Woodridge Dr.
stolitx replied to stolitx's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
I do remember the diner/soda shop inside the Walgreens. I also remember the Ferrell's Ice Cream parlor in Almeda. I'm really enjoying the all the pictures and the store listings. I live in the area now, but grew up in Pasadena before there was a mall there. So we shopped at Gulfgate & Almeda. I really hope something positive happens in Almeda. My Civic Club president said she heard that Ed Wulfe was looking at it for a renovation similar to Meyerland/Gulfgate. I pray it's true. But I don't know where she got this information or if it's just hopeful thoughts on her part.- 239 replies

Theaters are long gone from Almeda. Almeda has also already lost the Old Navy, Lane Bryant, Just for Feet, and a book store just to start. Going soon I heard is the KB toy store in the mall and the JC Penneys (looking to move to Baybrook is what one of the employees told me). Most of the stores moved to the Fairmont/Beltway area in Pasadena. And I doubt the future looks bright for the Foleys there since I can't imagine that Macy's is going to put their name on that location. Especially when there's the brand new nice Foley's in Baybrook.- 239 replies

stolitx replied to stolitx's topic in EaDo, the East End, and East Houston
Well the neighborhood doesn't have a theater so it could use if if they could make room for it. I think the only place on Gulfgate property would be the space behind HEB. Almeda has tons of empty space and the new Walmart Supercenter going in. It's prime for redevelopement. And it needs it or the whole mall is going to close.- 239 replies

The Starbucks on Woodridge is part of Magic Johnson's project. I was surprised when it was going in (elated, but surprised). I go there once a week, usually after work, and I'm never alone when I'm in the drive through and there are usually several people sitting outside.- 239 replies
