IronTiger 913 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 So recently I had a cool idea that involved Houston...and I came up with a project called The Galleria Map Project. Basically, my plan is to take the existing The Galleria lease plans (http://www.simon.com/about_simon/leasing/LocalMall.aspx?id=805), blank the existing stores, and fill in the stores I...and others...remember. Unfortunately, this is only in the planning stages and I don't have the right program to handle everything. I mean, it would certainly be a cool project if it were to be done, and...I guess I could post answers to any Q&A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Impossible 4 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yeah, cool project! Someone else beat you to it though. It's called the store directory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
editor 991 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yeah, cool project! Someone else beat you to it though. It's called the store directory.I think Iron Tiger is talking about historic stores.. Like there would be a 70's map and an 80's map and a 90's map. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Highway6 380 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) I'm 99% sure there used to be a International House of Bagpipes Haggis where Dillards now stands...... Map It !!!! Edited February 5, 2009 by Highway6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pumapayam 133 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I think Iron Tiger is talking about historic stores.. Like there would be a 70's map and an 80's map and a 90's map.What about all the renovations and expansion, it just would not be as easy as one thinks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IronTiger 913 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Specifically, kind of like this, except non-Flash. Or something.http://74.220.215.244/~syracus4/penncaninteractivemaps.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kylejack 875 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 It would be a mess, because it would be hard to remember exactly when a slot changed, not to mention that the slots sometimes change sizes as slots are merged or divided. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Simbha 66 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 I was interested in this thread when it first started, so I'm bumping it to see if there's been any progress on this project... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GBryant 4 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Do you have a plan for sourcing the pictures? I've never been able to find much online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kasper 10 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Several friends & I worked at various stores in the Galleria between 1988 & 1992, haven't seen its layout in years but can remember many store locations from that era if this project ever materializes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
