    I grew up in Houston - Spring Branch - and this is one of the malls I grew up going to - I remember this mall from the late 90s and 2000 and they had the same stores that memorial city had at the time.

    Levcor planned to close the mall in 2017 until the road construction around the mall was finished. The current rumor is that the mall has been sold to Texas High Speed Rail and they plan to use it as their terminal. There's a mall on the south side Almeda that's identical to Northwest.

So to me this mall has a lot of back ground stories lol, but it's a cool mall especially. Thanks for the history
