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.

As I've said before, this is a pretty awesome plaza right off of the Interstate 10 Highway on the North side which is also known as the Katy freeway. It's almost directly across from the Memorial City Mall and has a bunch of cool stores in it where me and Barbi go all the time. The HEB is why she usually comes here, great Nordstrom Rack, great Academy, awful Five Guys. Awful Olive Garden too. So don't come here to eat - ew. Loses one star only because the drivers and parking here can suck so much and the light to turn in off Bunker Hill is so weak. Not to be confused with Vajayjay Pleasure, which is kinda why Barbi dates me.

If nothing impresses you in Texas, you've gotta come to H-E-B at Bunker Hill. According to Fidelis leasing office website, this mall sits on 45 acres of land and the store took a title of The Busiest Store In The State of Texas. How does 126,000 square foot store sound to you? I'm very lucky to shop here after work as the rest of mall already closed. Yeah, there are over 50 businesses at Village Plaza at Bunker Hill and it's like a shopping town by itself. I could spend all day here. I like the convenience to Katy freeway and Beltway. Weekends are the busiest to come around here. That's why I choose to shop on weekdays and not during evening commute hours. The parking was kind of hectic during the busy holiday season. Psst, Chuy's Tex-Mex restaurant just opened http://www.memorialdistrict.org/blog/chuy%E2%80%99s-here this month. It makes me wanna try something different.

Good job to Lou for This is a big and solid mall with all kinds of options and choices and they're not too bad in general, but they do have a few issues on the other hand, such as a lot of very rude drivers and a lot of the stores closing down and some bad traffic, and it can be really hard getting in and out of some of these parking lots because of the awful traffic. It's designed well but probably not for all the large volume of people that comes in and out of this area. I do however like it around here and there is a great boba shop and Vietnamese restaurant here that I like a lot.

Hop over the driveway to another building starts with Party City, Payless Shoe Source, Five Below, Famous Footwear, Old Navy, Ross Store, Pet Smart, Northern Tools and K&G Fashion. There are 2 buildings in the front to house Chipotle, Mattress Firm and Visionworks in one and Brew Wings and Verizon Wireless in another. There are few vacancies. I hope they bring more restaurants here. Highway 290 construction is completed and traffic is getting much smoother than ever.
