That is a brilliant idea. You and I should go into business together!!!

And I just want to own the ATM that spits out ones all night long. I could retire in a month or two. And I know, she really, really, likes you.

No Sapphire, she's just trying to work her way through college. THEN she'll get a real job once she graduates. I'm sure they just want to help her follow her dreams.

If I am right, they are redoing the HEB to be a 24 hour HEB. Bigger and better. Don't recall if its going to be a HEB Plus.

Smile Westlakes mall

This was a great mall at one time. Of course, Ingram Park Mall opened before Westlakes Mall. Ingram Park in 1979, and Westlakes in 1983. Westlakes was a nice mall for the neighborhood area-had awesome stores/boutiques. However, Ingram Park Mall was the place to be with a movie theatre in the mall, restaurants, and many stores with the latest fashions. Westlake had a Lubys and ChickfilA, also a great Pizza restaurant. A few local boutiques (Purse Snatcher) and of course, my favorite Lerners!!! So sad to see it deteriorate the way it did!!! My favorite place now is Alamo Ranch, Village at Stone Oak, The Rim, and La Cantera Mall.

Default 25th Anniversery

A security guard that's at Westlakes told me the mall was taken down 25 years to the day it was built. It sucks that they had to tear it down!

wow, looks like Westlakes takes some of you down memory lane good for you, Unfortuantely I checked it out when it was near its end. and all I saw was a bunch of crack smokers there. Im kinda glad they tore it down. Now they migrated to that beat down gas station a couple blocks east of marbach.

Just remember........the places that are beloved to you now will one day be full of crack smokers. See what you have to look forward to?

Take lots of pictures of how those places are now, for posterity's sake.

I remember going to Westlakes in the mid 80s a couple of times...my Mom and I would head into the Target that was located adjacent to it. I always thought it was a glorified baby mall and nowhere near as big as Ingram Park.

Is the old location still going to be an HEB Plus??
