Demolition begins at historic Greenspoint Mall to make way for $

susanbanthony :
Where are they going to have the carnivals now...?

Floyd : We were just talking about that at work yesterday. Northwest Mall was demolished last month. The Carnivals will be hard pressed for locations big enough...

Smokeybear :
Perhaps moving to Deerbrook Mall?

When I moved to Spring in 1989, Greenspoint Mall was "the" place to be... all the folks from The Woodlands shopped there. It had a Mervyn's, which was my favorite store. The food court was decent and it was overall a very nice place.The downfall started with the opening of The Woodlands Mall. We switched to The Woodlands and never set foot again at what now was colloquially called Gunspoint.

Floyd :
On the Freeway

Ah memories. I remember going as a kid and thinking it was so far away. I also worked there in 2009. I learned a lot. 😂

Smokeybear Floyd :
I wonder if Deerbrook will be used? There is so much extra parking space in certain areas.

Sadly, the gangs will have to find another place to hang, now.

justanirishgirl :
Greenspoint has been basically empty for years.

Such a fun time back in the day. We used to drive over from Jefferson Cty to go here and the Galleria.

I came to Humble in 1980 and Greenspoint was a great mall. I knew it like the back of my hand. Of course, Deerbrook was new in 1984, and so much closer to home. Greenspoint was close to where I worked, so I still shopped there often, for years.MrsT, back in the old days, before Beltway 8 was modernized, it took a lot more time to get there.

Catmae :
I remember when it just stopped and you had to get off at 59 then get back on, if I'm remembering correctly.
Everything felt so far when you're a kid. 😂

eighteen : The North side of Deerbrook is empty parking but it is at an angle, it slopes down to the perimeter roadway, that I bet a lot of the rides would be unstable. Probably why there has never been a carnival there.
