Golf N Games was on the other side of the tracks from Pancho's, Fun Factory near where the General Cinema/ Movie Tavern was, and the AMC. I can't remember the name of the upper mall arcade, but I remember the huge Chik Fil A with seating and the McDonald's with a play area that both were moved over to make room for the AMC mall entrance in 1995. Tilt lasted a while, but finally moved out in the mid 2000's if I remember correctly. If you did a deep dive at the library you may be able to find some old photos of these places. jehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642257521152353045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-69811852497310807792023-06-02T23:09:02.511-05:002023-06-02T23:09:02.511-05:00I wish there more pictures of Humble from the '...I wish there more pictures of Humble from the '90s period. There were so many great places that you just can't find any trace of online, like Golf 'N Games, Fun Factory, the AMC Theater where Planet Fitness used to be, and so on. Even the arcades in the mall are mostly forgotten (Tilt downstairs and the one upstairs where Chic-Fil-A is, Aladdin's Castle I believe).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-61561060644334986042019-06-10T19:58:12.666-05:002019-06-10T19:58:12.666-05:00I remember this store, it was there in the early 9...I remember this store, it was there in the early 90's. I wish I could remember the name. It was in a small store space then they moved it to roughly where the Shoe Dept. Encore is today. They also had a ton of holograms. I still have a hologram keychain that I bought there and it still works. I had one of the small framed holograms, but I have no idea where it went.jehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642257521152353045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-82028518460795487762019-06-07T17:03:05.506-05:002019-06-07T17:03:05.506-05:00What was the store across from Lubys that sold the...What was the store across from Lubys that sold the magic eye pics.

Once Greenspoint tanked and the AMC opened, Deerbrook really became a great mall. jehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642257521152353045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-31793423756334821192019-04-11T15:56:54.649-05:002019-04-11T15:56:54.649-05:00I was a kid living in Kingwood when Deerbrook open...I was a kid living in Kingwood when Deerbrook opened.

The old mirrors with the flower apostrophe from the old Foley's logo are still up inside of the mall entrances. I wonder how many people look at those and wonder what they are from.jehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642257521152353045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-2697543008910437642019-03-10T15:29:16.767-05:002019-03-10T15:29:16.767-05:00I kept reading "Foleys became Macy's"...I kept reading "Foleys became Macy's" however it appears to be a new Macy's Stores(bright white, low ceilings, no lablescars) Good to know it was rebuilt as a macy's.

Deerbrook was never struggling as bad as Greenspoint now, but it was not considered successful until the mid 1990's. In the early 1990's Deerbrook had several empty stores and some spots in the mall especially towards Sears where only a few stores were open. There was a Ruby Tuesday restaurant at the entrance just below the movie theaters in the 1980's-early 90's.jehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642257521152353045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-35468856702919217312013-10-29T01:58:00.053-05:002013-10-29T01:58:00.053-05:00Wow I could not believe that Deerbrook was struggl...Wow I could not believe that Deerbrook was struggling when it was a young mall, I always thought it was doing well, I remember the old Dinosaur playground next to JC Penny, and the change of stores over the years, I remember when Dollar Tree used to be in the mall by Kay Bee Toys, Can't believe how much Deerbrook has changed over the years Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-15506863608278192762013-10-21T01:26:49.887-05:002013-10-21T01:26:49.887-05:00Deerbrook was actually not doing well in the early...Deerbrook was actually not doing well in the early 1990's until the cinema was added. The carousel was removed around the mid 1990's renovation which corresponded with the cinema addition to the mall. I remember the McDonalds used to take up half of where the cinema entrance is now and Chik Fil A was the other half of the cinema entrance. There was an arcade roughly where the Chik Fil A is now that had a small entrance which led to a decent sized arcade in the back. Taco Bell was also in the food court in the 90's before the cinema arrived. Kay Bee Toys was where the Casa Ole is now. Walgreens was where Payless is now, and there was a Waldenbooks next door or just down the hall. Casa Ole was where Barnes and Noble is now. Sam Goody was next to Sears on the first level. There have been many changes in the mall tenants over the years, but the mall is much busier now than it has ever been. jehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642257521152353045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-63441946276904215992013-10-13T04:02:15.023-05:002013-10-13T04:02:15.023-05:00Do you know when the carousel was removed from the...Do you know when the carousel was removed from the food court, how different was Deerbrook in the early 1990's, does anyone have pictures of how Deerbrook was back thenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-77785713896020361912013-10-09T10:49:00.798-05:002013-10-09T10:49:00.798-05:00Does anyone remember the Carousel that was in the ...Does anyone remember the Carousel that was in the food court in the 1990's did they remove it when the food court was renovated, does anyone have pictures of the carousel Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-90656066095042502522013-02-02T07:01:25.420-06:002013-02-02T07:01:25.420-06:00Forever 21 is now in the old Mervyn's.
