The Shops at Parkway Lakes In Katy (San Antonio, Austin: theater, school)

This will include a new Walmart, Lowe's, 20 Screen Theater, and other anchor stores.

The Walmart is said to open early next year. This will really help out shopping and entertainment in this area. The Katy area will now have four move theaters: Cinemark 19, Alamo Drafthouse on Mason, AMC 20 in Katy Mills, and now this one that will have 20 screens. It would probably be a United Artist or Edwards.

This is the development I was talking about in the Westheimer Lakes North thread.

That is awesome, but looks very strip mall like. I guess better than not having it. And let's not forge the grand on I-10. That one will be like memorial city and not strip kind right?

And I wish that it isn't a Walmart, but there already is a Target in the vicinity. What else can replace those two, I just don't enjoy Walmart.
And more screens the better, yeah, and a bookstore is desperately needed too.

Yeah, the mall going in at I-10 is being made by Simon Malls. It will be like Memorial City, just outdoor. Interfin is building some kind of marketplace-type center next door. It will be built along that empty space to the west of Mason Road up to the mall.

Is this going in west of Grand Parkway on the northside of I-10 @ the Katy Mills exit?

At I-10 and 99 - just east of the Cinemark

There's a B&N bookstore already in West Oaks.

Where exactly is this again? (The link won't work.) Is it the Shops at Bella Terra or that empty land across from Super Target where Chili's and Wachovia are in now?

[cla]

It is the Shops at Bella Terra - originally it was to be called the Shops at Parkway Lakes.
And as to a B&N being at West Oaks - that is a good 20 to 25 minute drive for me - a bookstore at 99 and 1093 would be a much more convenient trip (especially when I have a teenager who tells me at the very last minute that she needs a book for school - which BAM in Katy Mills is always sold out of)

That, Katy Mills, and Jack In the Box will be all I need, I guess, if I move to Katy, Texas. (I don't shop much, so I've never been to Katy Mills, but I guess it's okay for a weekday excursion. There are no Jack in the Box restaurants in Kentucky, so I've never been to one, but I'll have to try it.)

It sounds like cookie-cutter suburbia, but at least it's not po-dunkville nowhere USA, so I can manage. Oh, and Katy is only 2.5 hours or so from downtown San Antonio and 3 hours from Austin, great for weekend trips! That, to me, is one major advantage of living on that side of Harris/Fort Bend Counties.
