Houston Post or Houston Chronicle microfilm, I forget which. August 1976 was when the mall opened and when that special advertising section ran. It might have been in both papers, but one was clearer than the other. As I said, I forget which. 

 

DON'T go to the Houston Public Library... they'll charge you for paper copies, plus you have to fight off the homeless. Go instead to the University of Houston Library. You can save the files onto a flash drive or you can print them for free (you don't have to be a student or an alumni to use the facilities). 

 

If I still had them, I'd attach them here for you, but I didn't bother to scan them. I found them for hydeaway (an old high school friend) while doing another project several years ago. I'm interested in the history of Greenspoint Mall, but only to a degree. So I didn't keep a copy. It's his passion.  

Thanks!  Also do you know the month the Montgomery wards opened? I am planning on going back to look for photos of that section of the mall.

By the way, where did you got those documents from? I've been scanning througout the entire internet for other high quality photos of the mall with out any success other than the ones posted in here.

ive always wanted to see how the fountain with "chimes" looked like and the entrances but sadly I wasn't born early enough to even see when that mall got renovated... Any help would be appreciated.

Victor, funny thing... that's hydeaway's Facebook group you found those on. So in trying to help him, you're only giving him back his own stuff. I know, because I originally provided him those documents to put on Facebook. LOL!

 

Obviously you didn't know that. How could you? But it's pretty funny, nonetheless. Still, I'm sure I speak for him in saying thanks for the effort. That's what really counts.

 

 

Oops... Sorry, I obviously didn't notice at all. Next time I will double check before I post something.

Has anyone ever come across any photos of Greenspoint in its heyday? Such as the fountain with the restaurant on top, the "high flyers" sculpture, etc? Remember the children's play area with the rubber floor with the yellow and red cubes we climbed and played in?

1: the "high flyers" sculpture

2: the children's court

3:an artist rendering of the center court.

I found these photos from a Facebook group.
