The big Montgomery Ward list

[Jonah Norason]

I'm trying to compile a nice list of Wards locations. Wikipedia had one, and even though someone deleted it :( it wasn't very helpful to begin with. So I'm proposing a restart. I'll start with Houston ones, and I'll try to get dates (not direct copying from Wikipedia):
Greenspoint Mall (1978-2001): Vacant
Memorial City Mall (1966?-2001): Torn down, rebuilt as Target, which opened 2003
Northline Mall (1967?-2001): Vacant until demolition of mall
Willowbrook Mall (1981-2001): Became Foley's Mens/Home, now Macy's Mens/Home
Sharpstown Center (1962-2001): Became Burlington Coat Factory
Baybrook Mall (1978?-2001): Became Foley's, torn down, rebuilt as JCPenney, which opened 2005

That's not complete, I'm sure there was an old downtown location somewhere.

Here's a list of locations at the time of the company's liquidation

Good reference, though, it's going to need a lot more refining and finding. I think I saw the Temple one, but it was freestanding.

Do you live in Houston?

[Jonah Norason]

No. But it is the nearest big city.
