Never knew of one under Gulfgate but there was one at the corner of Woodridge and Winkler. As Midtown said its a taquaria now. Right behind it was a Pizza Hut. The one at Westheimer and the Loop was also one. I am not sure but I thought there was one on Fuqua at one time as well. Those are the only ones I remember.

We used to eat at the one on Woodridge when I was a kid. We lived nearby on Plum Creek.

It definitly was a Fed Mart for a while. It was in the old Globe building. When Fed Mart closed they tore down the building and built the Mervyns there. Next to the parking lot for the Globe/Fed Mart was a large apartment clomplex that ran from there out to a street called Plum Creek that ran from Telephone near Stubbs Cycles over to Winkler. A friend of mine lived on Plum Creek and we would cut through the apartments over to Globe, and then Fed Mart. Someone who lived in the apartments had actually built a horseshoe pitch in the grass between the parking lot and the back fence of the apartments and cut a hole through the fence to have easy access. That was our cut through to the store.

I lived in those apartments on Plum Creek (Patricia Manor Apts) for 14 or 15 years. Used to sneak over to Stubbs all the time.

You are correct about Globe becoming Fedmart for a while. 

Holy crap! I remember the horseshoe pitch! I used to cut through there all the time.

I lived in the Patrica Manor Apartments on Plum creek across from the Village Way from about 1965 or 66 to 1980 when my parents got divorced. They are still there amazingly.

The original Stubbs Suzuki was just behind us on Telephone road. We used to sneak over there and take the big boxes the motorcycles came in and make forts out of them.

We would also run across the street and walk past the Village Way apt.s to go to the Globe and or Gulfgate.
