Favorite Other Shopping Malls in Houston

[DaTrain]

I excluded the Galleria, Memorial City, Meyerland Mall and Rice Village from the poll so that these other malls that are lesser known in the poll can be mentioned. Othern than the three that won't be on the poll, for easier focus, which other malls are your favorite? They can be new malls with 100% vacancy filled or they can be others that are half-full and others that are about to be flushed down.

Woodlands Mall. Their police look like Canada's mounted patrol.

Humble Mall is actually Deerbrook. Also, you left First Colony and West Oaks Mall off your list.

Sharpstown Mall has personal history for a lot of kids from the 80s generation. I have very fond memories of it even to this day.

True, there are (many of) those who look down upon its deterioration; I look upon it as simply evolution in context to shifting demographics.

It is not as upscale as it once was, relatively speaking, but it is not exactly boarded up and deserted. It's a thriving hip-hop pop-cultural place even if a few empty spaces are noticeable here and there. And while I lived in Houston throughout 2004, it was my favorite place for dollar-fifty movies and a nearby pretzel (stashed in between a magazine, sneaking it in).

The place does exude an urban multi-cultural vibe in a suburban format.

FCM is undergoing a lot of construction at this moment. When it finishes up in October, it's going to be so busy that the already jampacked Southwest Freeway is going to be even more so. Same thing for Highway 6.

BTW, it's not "Willbowbrook", it's "Willowbrook Mall". Remember, there are several shopping centers @ that intersection called Willowbrook (e.g. "The Commons at Willowbrook").

That monster they call Katy Mills, which is becoming Katy's version of the Galleria, until the new Simon Mall goes up next to Cinemark.

And ain't a damn thing wrong with Sharpstown Mall. It is so fun over there. I actually like it more than Katy Mills. It is always packed, too.
