“This makes me sad... we moved to the Aldine area In 1979,” said KPRC 2 viewer Stephanie Longoria Mottu. “I grew up at Greenspoint Mall! So many great memories. Hanging out at the arcade was the best one!”
“Used to work across the road at Exxon as a student,” said Brooke Dousey Mullins, another KPRC 2 viewer. “Would go to Greenspoint everyday for lunch at the food court. I loved walking the mall in the middle of the day with my coworkers!”
“Worked at the mall for many years, from the food court to sunglasses then jewelry it was the best time and great friends,” said Tawanna Bateman.
Stores such as Foot Locker, Journeys and GNC continue to operate inside the mall, however Premiere Theaters, the movie theater inside Greenspoint, remain closed. Fans were also remembering the last time they visited a Thirsty’s.
