As a kid, my favorite at Woolworths was a grilled cheese sandwich and a fountain cherry-coke I seem to remember that the Woolworth's and its Grill was still open inside Almeda Mall into the mid-90's (i guess until when the company declared bankruptcy)
wow!! I never knew there were two different Woolworth's in downtown! The original F.W. Woolworth Co. 5-10 and 15 Cent Store was located at 920 Main Street. This building was designed by architect Alfred C. Finn. The other building at 613 Main Street was designed by Kenneth Franzheim. Almost every...
I ate a Woolworths too in the mid 80's, probably about 1986, when I was working on the Gulf Building remodel. We only had 30 minutes for lunch so it was an effort to find restaurants close by that could serve you in enough time to get back on the job without the foreman giving you the eye.
I remember all the others plus Whites, Woolworths, Madding's, Lew's Records and a bunch more but my mind is drawing a blank on Wyatts. as for the exact location, i am not sure. b4-u-eat only says "1015 meyerland plaza"
In the 1960's, the city built a massive nuclear fallout shelter in case of attack by the Soviet Union. The cavernous shelter is big enough to hold 30,000 people in addition to the supplies they need to survive. I have no idea whether this is true or not ------ frankly the 30K number seems a little dubious to me.
20. Posted August 8, 2008. During the 1980's this cafe was located in back of the store Woolworth next door to the cobbler's shop in Meyerland plaza. My dad would always get his shoes fixed in the shop and go next door to the Rumble Seat to have a drink at the bar.

Most of my memories are from 1960-1970 (and are therefore fuzzier) but some extend into the 80s. In the 60's, I remember the east end of the strip center at 9101 LP being a local grocery store that might have been called "Riley's", but it might also have been a Minimax either then or later on.
There was never a Pennys on Main and Elgin. That was a Woolworths and Walgreens on the southwest corner of Main and Elgin (along with that Wonder Fabrics store) directly south of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company building (now Houston Community College) Edited September 9, 2009 by EspersonBuildings
Actually, it was the S.S. Kresge Five and Dime stores that became K-Mart in the early sixties. SH Kress Stores were never anything but Five and Dimes.
