Gulfgate!

You got it

From wiki:

Gulfgate Mall also known as Gulfgate Shopping City or Gulfgate Center is a shopping center located in Houston, Texas . The mall is located in southeast Houston at the intersection of the Gulf Freeway and Interstate 610 . It was the first indoor regional mall in the Houston area [1] opening on September 20, 1956.

Next question! Make it a tough one

Hint: Vertigo58, it's not Kim Novak!

Since we are paused for Musicman to return.. I shall fill the empty space not with trivia, but a Houston math problem.

Car A and Car B are heading down 45 from Conroe. When they arrive at the loop (at the same time), Car A heads West at 50 mph and Car B heads East at 77 mph. There is no traffic or weather to slow either car down, but Car A does lose exactly 5 minutes along the way when he stops for gas.

How long till they meet up again and at what closest major intersection ?

The Heisman trophy is named for John William Heisman the first full-time coach at Rice University in Houston.

Guess that depends on our differing definitions of First and full-time.
