I believe it ran from around 1987 - 2006 on many stations (one after the other), but I could be wrong.

The only one that comes to mind is Ritmo Latino which ran on KHTV (KIAH), KTXH, KTBU and KTMD until about ten years ago if I remember correctly.

Just stopped by the Tetco/Chevron on 249. They have Slurpees, Big Gulp, 7-Eleven hot dogs, coffee. etc. It's in the middle of being re-branded according to the clerk, but for all intents and purposes this is a 7-Eleven. 

Azteca 26/CBS 26/ABC 26/CW 26/NBC 26/WB 26/Paramount 26/TBN 26/Smile of a child 26.

What??

The Foodtown on Scarsdale and Beamer (I think those were the street names) was a Safeway/Appletree. I have memories of going there as a kid in the late '80s/early '90s. It was the first Appletree I'd ever seen. This was before 1992, because we moved out of Friendswood that year.

Houston's first Carl's Jr. is almost complete. Highway 6 and West Road next to Shell.

"Lavo Collections" is a Boutique with quality but affordable. We carry trendy apparel ... of accessories...Our 2nd location will be open November 2010 in WillowBrook Mall

Lavo currently has a store at the Village Arcade.

Lavo Collections will be in Lucky Brand Jeans' former spot between Arden B and Gymboree.

You know, this really sucks........................how many more POP radio stations do we need in Houston anyway,

How many pop stations do you think Houston has? Hot and KRBE make two. Mix and Sunny are considered adult contemporary. Are you counting Jack FM and the Point as 'pop'?

KBXX owner Radio One let alot of their air talent go recently. I think it was for "cost cutting". It seems like the KBXX veterans were the first to go (except the morning show).

KHJZ Houston ended it's Smooth Jazz format today at 5:30 PM in order to prepare for the launch of Top 40/CHR station "Hot 95.7" tomorrow at 3 PM. KHJZ was Houston's third attempt at Smooth Jazz, the first on a city grade signal. "Hot 95.7" is set to compete with legendary 104 KRBE, which has been leaning in an adult direction since 2006.

Good to see the old North Oaks Mall site redeveloping somewhat.

Was that ever really a mall? I've wondered why it's referred to as a mall when it's a shopping center.

Brookstone is now closed, making way for Apple. Rumors say that construction on Future Court and an overall renovation of the mall should commence Spring or Summer this year. Borders is rumored as an addition.

What's all this construction going on at Willowbrook Mall about? I noticed they are getting "Amuse." What's that? just curious.....

Amuse is an accessory store. Like Claire's or Icing.

Looks like Willowbrook is going through some major changes. A lot of the stores are remodeling. I noticed that they even took out some of the seating areas with the palm trees. I wonder what they are up to. Pretty cool... Still nothing on the old Lord & Taylor site. They just bulldozed the whole thing and left it there.

The seating areas were removed to clear space for merchandise carts. During holiday shopping, those things are just in the way. The former Joske's/Dillards/Lord & Taylor site is known as Future Court. It's believed to be the new home of a second food court, arcade and entrance.

New stores:

*Swarovski

*Build a Bear :closedeyes:

*Vans

*Hollister :closedeyes:

Hollister is now open. Add Love Culture and Torrid to the list of stores coming soon. Disney Store should be open in the fall.

There is a sign near the old Circuit City building that says "new Willowbrook shopping center coming soon". Are they going to tear down that entire center with the Laff Spot, Shannons Street Waves, and Baker Street Pub?

More of a renovation project than anything. Baker Street Pub won't be included since their in a newer, different strip altogether.
