This
place
is…
something.
First
of
all,
I
visited
late
May
of
2022,
on
a
Saturday.
Anyway,
if
you
want
to
go
shopping,
I
do
not
think
that
this
will
be
your
place.
Macy’s
closed
in
2017,
Palais
Royal
closed
in
2020
alongside
Sears,
and
Dillards
closed
in
2006.
I
should
also
add
that
the
food
court
has
been
vacant
for
years.
Heck,
the
Claire’s,
the
one
really
decent-looking
store,
closed
a
while
before
I
arrived,
not
to
mention
that
a
third
of
the
mall
(the
playground
and
the
empty
hallways
towards
Macy’s)
have
been
closed
since
the
pandemic.
However,
despite
ALL
of
these
flaws,
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
it.
The
styling,
though
slightly
refurbished
roughly
5
or
so
years
ago,
still
looks
similar
to
how
it
did
when
it
opened
in
1982.
The
Palais
Royal
still
has
it’s
logo
in
place,
but
so
does
the
Sears.
So
if
you
enjoy
dated
architectural
design,
I
would
highly
recommend.
EDIT:
I
went
back
during
Thanksgiving
week,
and
the
place
is
not
doing
too
hot.
The
only
name
brand
store,
which
I
believe
was
a
FootAction,
has
closed
since
I
last
went
last
May.
Just
a
fare
warning,
the
area
is
not
the
safest
(certainly
no
Greenspoint
or
Sharpstown,
but
still
enough
that
you
should
be
more
careful),
and
that
the
old
Macy’s
may
have
a
homeless
person
or
two.
Don’t
worry,
as
the
mall
itself
should
be
fine,
since
the
only
people
there
are
getting
exercise.
Only
go
after
dark
if
you
know
what
you
are
doing.
In
conclusion,
if
you
want
to
go,
do
so
sooner
rather
than
later
since
I
doubt
the
longevity
of
this
mall.
EDIT
2:
I
added
more
photos
from
Thanksgiving
Week
2022,
this
time
from
my
camera,
as
I
forgot
to
put
the
photos
of
it
on
here.
The
new
photos
do
not
reflect
the
current
state
of
the
mall,
again
as
they
are
from
a
couple
of
months
ago.
