Found this gem on Youtube. From the now torn down Westwood Mall in Houston in 1991. Now I feel old as hell. Enjoy. Hope no one got any needles in their Snickers.

Spent a lot of time in that mall in the 80s, as well as Sharpstown. I suppose that really makes you think.
I remember having to go along to the Christmas store at Westwood.
The Goldmine was probably the best game room in SW Houston

We used to mall trick or treat at Town & Country. Was jealous of my friends whose mothers didn't buy into the "poisoning Halloween candy" myth for a couple yrs.
But now I'd pay big money to be able to relive that experience and just get one more glimpse at what life was like in the dirty branch in the 1980's.

**** yeah. That place was hell for young Jackal.
For a pre-teen kid, the entire vibe of the Goldmine was cool. Like literally walking into a dark mine. Loved that place.RebelE91 said:

Westwood Mall was our hangout. Most of my friends wound up working there in high school. It was like "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Except, you know, without Phoebe Cates.
My first ever job was in Westwood Mall - Baskin & Robbins.
I remember all this like it was yesterday. Westwood Mall was the shiny new mall in town. I loved that place. But Sharpstown Mall was where most of my memories were from. Physical Whimsical, Babbage's for nintendo games, Coastal Cookies, and the first Chic-Fil-A I ever remember seeing in Houston in the food court. I really miss the old Houston.
the Chick-fil-A drug dealer first hit for free marketing model was perhaps the successful fast food loyalty building campaign in history. Genius to rent mall space all over America and give away free samples til their brand was so big the franchise locations literally print money and are desirable unintentional anchors for commercial and retail real estate.BoxingAg84 said:

Same. From when I was real little, maybe 5-ish. What I remember most are the Christmas shopping weekends we did there each year in maybe the 1975-1979 time frame, but even earlier than that, there was Jean's Model Shop where I spent a bunch of my parents' money from time to time. I also remember the big deal that it was when the mall expanded to include a second floor. And while it was not in the mall, every trip to Sharpstown included a stop for lunch at the James Coney Island that had two seating floors, with the second floor having those school desks that were fun for the kids (which is weird, because ordinarily most kids would hate those things)BoxingAg84 said:

Out of curiosity, how many on here that grew up in Sharpstown or near ended up running it back and now live around this area? Was it a hot spot for the Asian community back then? I feel like I see some bars on the windows/doors in those neighborhoods now?
As has been said in this thread, I really miss old Houston. I thought I would spend my entire life there.

Nah, the Asian takeover didn't start till the mid 80s when Diho Plaza was built. My parents moved into the area in 1975 and still live there. We'd like them to move but they like it there even though it's a hole now. Their street is almost all rental properties now including the house next door to them being an actual *****house a few years ago.
My first-ever job was at that Chic-Fil-A. I started off handing out samples, and I can remember getting just bum rushed by people when I came out with a fresh platter. They'd set a timer and anything left after 4 minutes was tossed and you'd go back for a fresh platter full.BoxingAg84 said:

For a while, Sharpstown was the number one performing Chic-Fil-A in the country. I remember when that was announced, and then about a week later, Steve the manager shows up for work in a brand new Lincoln Town Car with the Chic-Fil-A logo on the doors.
The best part of that gig was the meal breaks. Everyone working was working an 8 hour shift, and with the volume of that store, they worked your ass...hard. They gave you two 15 minute breaks throughout the day and the meal break was 30 minutes. When your meal break came, you'd grab an aluminum pie plate from the back and just go nuts. We were encouraged to eat whatever we wanted and as much as we wanted as long as you could fit it in to that 30 minutes. And this was back in the days when they had lemon merengue pie and carrot and raisin salad. As a 16 year old, that was the greatest thing that had happened to me up to that point. It made it worth having to wear that red, white and black striped clip-on bow tie.

My parents bought a place on Sharpview in maybe 1970, might have been 1969. I was 2 or 3 when we moved there from Bellaire. I remember that neighborhood as a white one. I think by second or third grade at Sutton Elementary, I was walking to school alone. My parents divorced in 1974; my mom got the house and she stayed on there until maybe 1977 when she lost her job at Channel 2. We ended up moving to Lake Jackson after that.WestHoustonAg79 said:BoxingAg84 said:

A couple of years after I graduated from A&M in 89, I found myself at Sharpstown Mall (where there had been a murder of an A&M football player, if I remember the story right). I couldn't get out of there fast enough, but for the life of me I can't recall what drove me to go to that mall that day. Probably related to my girl friend of the time.
I've driven down Sharpview a couple of times since then just to see my old house, but that's been probably 30 years ago by now. I don't think I'd be interested in driving into that neighborhood now.
I drove past my old childhood homes in Sharpstown (near Sutton Elementary, roughly Bellaire and Hillcroft) and Alief after Christmas with relatives who were in town.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:My parents bought a place on Sharpview in maybe 1970, might have been 1969.

Sharpstown always strikes me as the next target for gentrification, but it hasn't happened yet. It's not "bad bad" -- and some houses look fine -- but the neighborhoods clearly show their age and some houses are run down.
My old neighborhood in Alief is the same, maybe worse in spots. Just by driving around, I would guess Alief has lower-income residents and maybe a lot more recent immigrants? Could be wrong.
My parents still live in the 'lief. Used to live near Beechnut and Kirkwood then moved to Westpark and Dairy Ashford (1992-1993). Back then, there was nothing but the HPD command center, a run down shopping center (then) and cow pastures. Oh, and Andrau Airfield.EclipseAg said:I drove past my old childhood homes in Sharpstown (near Sutton Elementary, roughly Bellaire and Hillcroft) and Alief after Christmas with relatives who were in town.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:My parents bought a place on Sharpview in maybe 1970, might have been 1969.

Buddy lived in his childhood home until like 10 years ago off Triola lane. Used to go visit him and while going there brought back childhood memories (including one shoot out we heard a few doors down), it's sad because most houses are rent house or really poorly kept homes. Decent homes, but just lack of care. While some infrastructure is being kept up (new sewer and rainwater lines along with new roads to replace what was ripped up), a lot is literally patch on patch. I think a lot of areas suffer from lack of pride?

I was just in Alief last week as my son had a soccer tournament at Elsik/Hastings. I think part of the problem with the whole Sharpstown/Alief area is the huge number of run down apartments. To an earlier post, you can't really gentrify the area when the main streets are full of apartments that need lots of care.
Where my parents live, there are still a few OG families from the 70s but most have either died or moved away long ago. Starting in the 90s, you'd get Asian immigrant families that bought and then after a few years, they'd move to sugarland and either sell to another Asian family or rent it out. Unfortunately several of the houses are now boarding houses with all sorts of people in them.
Right now, my parents have good neighbors on either side of them but it's a crapshoot.

In addition to bad apartments and unkept retail, it's so easy in Houston for people to just pick up and move further out because land is plentiful and cheap. These older neighborhoods never stand a chance. But eventually they become valuable again. I see a lot of geographic advantages to living in Sharpstown, for example.
When I was a kid, no one wanted to live in Bellaire because the houses were so old and small. Teardowns were unheard of. Hard to believe today.

The main reason my parents give for not moving is location. Close to Memorial SW hospital, all the cheap restaurants in Chinatown, easy access to BW8 so they can go to College Station, etc.
The flip side is in the last five years, the house on one side was destroyed by fire because the tenant was using a propane grill inside because their electricity was turned off. Luckily it didn't spread to my parents' house but it was close. And on the other side of them, the tenant was using it for sex trafficking so there was a steady stream of random men every 30 minutes.
But hey, location location location.
LOL, so true. I honestly remember my first free sample in Memorial City Mall as a kid. I was blown away by the flavor and freshness and was also convinced that it was some state of the art healthy alternative to McNuggets etc., as was my mom.Mega Lops said:the Chick-fil-A drug dealer first hit for free marketing model was perhaps the successful fast food loyalty building campaign in history.

Did that house get busted and the guy and his wife were running a brothel and had a safe full of gold and foreign bonds or some such?

It was busted, HPD did a raid one day. They arrested one guy and one woman but the um escorts just walked a few blocks away to what I guess is another brothel.
Crazy thing is this was around Uri and the place stayed open even with no power.

Yep
I especially enjoyed this part of the article.
Quote:
Brittany Reynolds, 14, who lives in the building with her parents, said, "They were definitely hookers. They had some really showy clothes." The prostitutes' clients often drove fancy cars, including Jaguars and Maseratis, said Carlos Hernandez, Reynolds' boyfriend and a Memorial High School ninth-grader.
Robbie Emmitt,15, a sophomore at Memorial High School, said he and Hernandez knocked on the ring's door one day when they were collecting money for a school fund-raiser.
Quote:
"No one answered. But we kept on knocking we were sort of messing with them," Emmitt said. "Finally, the door opens. We weren't five seconds into our pitch, and we said 'fund-raiser,' and this guy stuffs a $50 bill in Carlos' pocket."
