Still standing but reduced to shambles.
Anyone who was around in the '60-'90s remembers its hayday. The galleria before the Galleria.
I often went to the unique specialty shops with my grandmother - candle stores, fabric stores, restaurants, her hair salon every Saturday!.
Every halloween all the shops opened their doors to trick-or-treaters and there was a makeshift haunted house that has now been replaced by Home Depot.
All that's left is Honey's Sno-Ball truck in the parking lot (delicious sno-cones, by the way!).
With all of the debate about demolishing the remains, why can't it be rebuilt to it's former charm? That would make MANY Houstonians happy!
