Down in the southwest portion of Houston you will find this shopping plaza, which is actually pretty good and has some good low rent discount stores and some great restaurants and also some dollar stores and a bunch of national chains.

I'm on a Mission, to visit every store in Katy Mills Center. I think my mission is nearly complete…read more This is a super cute mall which is a little bit unheralded, because it's across from Katy Mills and most people just go there, and I don't think most people come over here at all, of course we do though. It's clean and nice and has a cool Russian grocery store, and some little places that we like to check out now and then. I definitely give it a four star rating, even though the road next to it is really annoying for getting in and out.

Not to be confused with the First Colon-y Commons, which are very much filled with colons…read more This is a pretty standard strip mall and it's big and spacious and there's plenty of parking and smooth asphalt as well. See what I did there. Colon-y. Assphalt. OK. So one of the things I like about it is that it's well paved and seems new so it's pretty organized and one of the better strippers in town. I mean strip malls. Sorry I was watching Barbie dance.

Again another place called a "mall" that just a strip mall, over-playing it's significance…read more However, this strip mall does host a lot of useful places. Of note are Home Depot, Michael's, Office Depot, and Tuesday Morning, which are the places I actually go to here. There are many more shops too, so you can get a lot done in a small area, but probably not everything. Naming is a bit confusing as everything in Sugar Land is "First Colony-something." First Colony Mall is down the road on the other side of Highway 6, First Colony (the neighborhood) is further south on Highway 6, First Colony (the shopping center) is on the opposite corner of Highway 6 and 59, and Lakepoint Shopping Center is frequently referred to as First Colony as well (on the opposite side of 59.

We come down here so that Barbi can get clothes and I can get salad here at Salata and so many other delights. So good for them, for giving Rosenberg such a massive and workable shopping area.

I have to go here tomorrow actually, I have a Cy-Pressing engagement…read more This is your typical mall, but Barbi seems a little obsessed with it. I think we've been here the last 5 times we've been to Cypress, but I guess it's right off the highway and has a whole host of stores that Barbi likes to shop at so it makes sense. I don't love driving in and out of here but it's not bad except for the crappy 290 construction. They have a whole range of big box stores and all the stuff that you would expect them to have.

In town visiting and needed to visit another location for one of my favorite stores. I was…read morepleasantly surprised when I arrived at Meyerland Plaza. A mix of affordable, everyday brands with some more higher priced brands and restaurants. The entire family can shop in the Plaza. I did however find the Ross to be quite paltry given the size and location of the plaza.

It is a plaza doing business here…read more No need to wallow in the Meyer...land. This is a massive shopping mall with a lot of great stores. Meyerland has become a regular destination for us even though it's a little bit low rent and a little bit rough around here, however this new plaza looks shiny and new and posh. It's an adaptation of the old plaza, but a very good one. There are some great new stores, and it's been remodeled, and there's a lot of good reasons to come here, such as the Ross and especially the JoAnn which Barbi loves. Not owned by Russ Meyer or Quag Meyer.

It's on Westheimer, somewhere between 610 and Belt 8, on the South side, and with a dollar store, a few decent restaurants and interesting spots. It's well-paved, but a little difficult to get into, especially from the other side of the street. Barbi always looks really amazing when she's shopping here... obvi.

Not to be confused with the Universal Hopping Center, which is a Frog School…read more This is the pretty excellent shopping center located in Vietnamese Town with all kinds of stores and doctors and more Vietnamese owned businesses than you could shake a stick at - not that you really want to be shaking sticks, but if that's your thing then you can shake mine, too. So it's a massive and awesome Plaza - one of many - but it definitely rivals the others as one of the better options for rent, and it's a great Plaza to explore for sure.
