sheeats Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Boater's World Marine Center in Webster was closed down by Ike and their parent company's ensuing bankruptcy means that they're now closed for good:http://galvestondailynews.com/blog.lasso?p...05f0405f7de0668They'd been there since 2002.

A good chunk of the roof came off. I saw pics from inside the store by a guy who was the manager there. I have them saved.I thought it was going to rebuilt as a SuperTarget...or something.Also Macy's at Deerbrook Mall is closed until further notice. The roof was torn off of it as well, though they have every intention on reopening soon.Yes. The "Closed by Ike" means that the businesses are gone and aren't coming back. Macy's has asserted Deerbrook will reopen, as well as Almeda. Northwest? Not so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Eons? No, I remember it opening about 1985 or so.Funny, that was one of those places that stayed open for - we'll say 'a long time' - but I never heard of people actually going there. Maybe I just hung out with the wrong non-Magic Island crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 What is/was that Magic Island place anyways? When I lived over there I always thought it was funny that there was a Spynx in my neighborhood, but I never knew why. That's the place with the Spynx right?

That's the place with the Spynx right?I thought it was like the Medieval Times restaurants with the 'jousting' and 'wenches' and stuff, except with magicians and illusionists. It's odd that they would put a sphynx on the building, though. I don't understand the connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I had always figured it was a Las Vegas style place (as much as can be in Houston). From Magic Island's site ~1999 - I love the room names - and a ride on the fantasy elevator to the Den of Osiris! From the land of the Nile, there comes to the realm of Houston, a legacy of magic... the mystical legacy of ancient Egypt to Aladdin's Lamp... of the Wizard Merlin to the Maestro Houdini... And now the legacy of MAGIC ISLAND. Join us on a fantasy evening of elegant dining and dancing, magic and comedy shows, Psychics and Astrologists. Experience a world where elegance, quality personal service and excellence are a way of life! After a ride on the fantasy elevator, you are graciously welcomed at the Den of Osiris, where strolling magicians will perform while you are enjoying your favorite cocktails. CLEOPATRA'S CHAMBER The ultimate in banquet dining! COURT OF NEFERTITI The finest in elegant dining for the most demanding of connoisseurs. In Houston, where fine dining establishments have ranked among the best in the country, MAGIC ISLAND stands as a shining example of what true dedication to excellence in food and service can accomplish. PHARAOH'S RETREAT Hidden away in our inner sanctum is a private chamber reserved for the discerning few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Thanks, Sev, for unlocking the mystery of Magic Island. nothing says swinging (or maybe a gay bar, circa 1982) like 'Pharaohs Retreat.' That cracks me up. Edited April 21, 2009 by crunchtastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumber2 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Really? Damn!I thought the Broadway Mickey D's was open again in G-town, but I could well be wrong. Happens all the time.McDonalds on 61st is also closed. The McDonalds on Seawall Blvd. at 6th St openned right away after the storm. There is also a McDonald's inside the WalMart on Central City Blvd. at Seawall that is also open. We were told that both the Broadway and 61st St. stores will be torn down and replaced with new format franchises in Oct '09.And BTW marmer, it happens to me too!

mkultra25 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Donerakis is going to reopen eventually , i checked with dons kids. back in oct when they werent back open yet.I thought the Northside light rail line was going to drive Doneraki out of business - doesn't seem like there's any way it can go through that section of Fulton without some significant property takings on either side of the street.

IronTiger Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Did I miss something. I noticed Magic Island is still closed. Did they take their Ike insurance money and run off?Well, when I went to the website, it redirects me to "CurtMiller.com", a Houston magician who's available for large events. I'm drawing conclusions, alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
