Working in the mall at Stingers and finding out that they just filed bankrupt!! I loooooove my job and I am so upset to hear this news. I GREW UP in this mall and I sure as hell don't want to see it go like everything else. I've always said that if we had better stores then half of the area wouldn't have to go to Bay Brook. I hope they can do something about it that doesn't resolve in cloing MOM. You know what is really sad… Working in the mall at Stingers and finding out that they just filed bankrupt!!

Went to the "Taste of the Town" event at the mall and, after 7 years of attendance this was a pathetic example of mismanaged, under promoted, poorly organized mayhem i've experienced in the events history. The major culprits, heavy odors and general detierioration both externally while approaching and internally with a detieriorating general appearance. Watch for the bankrupcy after the holiday season.

The events they put out were in complete contradiction to the shopping crowd they expect. The shops are geared for younger shoppers, but the events are aimed at high income older adults. Go figure. I saw the event with the dancers. Only the parents and mall staff were watching. The event planners are injecting failure into the place instead of life. Events with effects, new sound, energetic themes, and local flavor seem to be lost on those folks. Galveston County residents expect a mall to provide entertainment as sucsessful as in Galveston and Kemah. Not Houston or Dallas culture lessons. This is a primarily tourist feed County, and they should take yours as every other opinion and wise up or give up. @Charity,

I did find an old map that still had dillard's listed on it and it shows where all the storefronts are, even the ones muraled over. Pathetic.

I walked the long lonely walk through the place and counted 25 inline with an additional 8 food court, and 12 kiosks. The gameroom, movies, business offices, and government offices are not included as retail. Those that are owned and operated by the mall could be subtracted, but there's no way of telling how many there are. Jonah, I see the MOtM website as listing 72 stores.
