Almeda History 

For your consideration, a short history of the early days of Almeda Mall in Houston, Texas, which functioned largely as the town square of our little neighborhoods, at least during my generation's youth, in the southeast netherlands of the Gulf Freeway.
These are just a few snippets of the hundreds of files, and most of the photos and newspaper scans from the 60s, that I've managed to dig up in my ongoing hunt, presented here in general order, for your enjoyment.
I am always on the lookout for people who might have photos of the area squirreled away in attics and closets. Please contact me if you might be one of those people!
Almost all of these are available for closer inspection at www.soutbelthouston.blogspot.com, just use the search bar to find many Almeda posts across the past few years of this project.
