@houston.street.me: Remember when going to the mall was the highlight of your weekend? 🥹❤️ For generations of Houstonians, Northwest Mall was more than just a shopping center. From Foley’s and JCPenney to Woolworth’s, the food court, and countless Saturday afternoons with friends… it was part of growing up in Houston. Opened in 1968, Northwest Mall gave us nearly 50 years of memories before closing in 2017. 💔 We thought we were just going shopping. We didn’t know we were making memories that would last a lifetime. 🏬 What’s your favorite memory of Northwest Mall? #HoustonStreetMemories #NorthwestMall #HoustonNostalgia #OldHouston #HoustonTexas
