What is sunrise mall

Nice tribute although I don't really dig the opera music.

Thank You!❤ loved this video

I knew I remembered Jitney Jungle in Corpus, but no history I’ve found admits they were in south Texas. I’d long forgotten Biel’s. That crazy roof at Lew Williams Chevrolet. I still remember looking at 1970 Challengers at Creveling Dodge.

My mother worked at Swantner & Gordon before I was born. She shopped at that Handy Andy when I was a kid. We spent a day in Corpus, probably 20 years ago. I couldn’t believe that Hamlin Drug had the same booths with the same Formica and the same upholstery I remembered from around 1965.

I’d say the “areal” view at 1:11 was taken after Celia. Too many vacant lots for the 60s. It’s “aerial,” by the way. Not areal or arial. (I learned that in Corpus Christi ISD.)

Most of that Woolco roof collapsed during hurricane Celia in 1970. Panchos was all the rage when it opened. Yes, the best sopapillas. My parents took older friends there for the first time. There was a sign warning about the hot plates. My dad pointed it out to the lady, saying, “Look out. Don’t burn yourself.” She immediately grabbed a plate and you could hear her thumb sizzle. 🙄 I can’t remember where it was. Seems like it was up around Ayers, but that part of town was in decline by the late 60s. Who remembers the building on the waterfront (a bank) that lit its windows as a Christmas tree and candles. It’s pictured in the video but I don’t recall its name. On a perfectly still night it reflected in the water when seen from one of the T-heads.

Oh My God a Tear just went down my cheek guys. 😢 So many wonderful Memories. I was a kid back in those days. In 1980 I was 9 yrs old. Thank you so much for this ❤❤ God Bless you!!!

Currently in demolition, closed in 2018-2019. Wish it lasted longer. After closing, graffiti came quickly. May sunrise mall rest in peace after much glory.

Sadly now this mall is closed, closed in 2019 or 2018. The current state of it is that it is being demolished. Demolition started three weeks ago, miss this place dearly

Wow what great memories of some of these places. As I use to wear my shirt that said " No Where is but Corpus Christi" back in the day. 😀

I used to sit in that lobby. Smoke a cigarette and hang out with my friend. We’d stop in after being out in downtown and get some AC.

Damn. I was born in 83. This just unlocked loads of memories. That’s how I remember Corpus.

Theres a meyers services on leopard st in annavile ,they grew up around alice texas that new the fischers Go trump 2024

KIERA COYOTE SAY "HURRICANE CELIA BLEW "WOOLCO" FLAT. FOLKS RETURNED THE BLOWN AWAY MERCHANDISE AS FAR AWAY AS NORTH BEACH. MY HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED"?

The 70’s 😢 Beautiful music , beautiful memories, beautiful people! I love this video. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I used to live on Saratoga and Weber and I also lived on Kostoryz and SPID back in the day.

It's crazy how some of those buildings are still standing 😯

Go back to Corpus Christi and visit the Sunrise Mall.

Most likely had a cabinet when it was new

I wish I knew the school and year at 3:33.

Does anyone remember the ice cream shop that was shaped like a huge ice cream cone? It was either there or Padre Island, but my parents took my brother and I there during the 1970s and I first saw it from the backseat of the car!! It was the holy grail of ice cream shops for a kid!! Of course we had to stop!!🍦🍦🍦

I remember the auto dealership Lew Williams

Does anyone remember the town hall where there was wrestling

Opening picture, sure looks like my mother. The camera loved her and she loved it. Wish every pic was named and dated. Ray High 72!

MY DEAR MOTHER ATTENDED COLLEGE THERE IN THE EARLY 1950s=MEMORIES🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏

🌹🌹🙏🙏💝💝THIS CITY HOLDS A BIT FOR ME💜💜MY MOTHER WENT TO COLLEGE THERE IN THE EARLY 1950s:DEL MAR COLLEGE

THIS CITY HOLDS A BIT FOR ME🌹🌹🙏🙏 ESPECIALLY THE 1950s:MY DEAR MOTHER WENT TO COLLEGE DURING THAT DECADE💜💜🌹🌹🙏🙏

I think it looked prettier back then. But that 1950's song mentioned pyramids which Corpus Christi lacks unlike Egypt & Mexico.

When you demonstrate 1980's pictures, why are they not totally in color? We had color in the 1980's.

A good time. A simpler time. And maybe a friendlier time. The wheel turns.

Ah, December 1962! The Tornadoes playing Telstar the space satellite! I was just a baby back then shortly after the October 1962 incident of the Cuban missile crisis that the late former President John F. Kennedy faced in a face off with the soviet union.

Anyone know what area of town that is at 4:07?

That was nice. Much gratitude.

It's pretty. But, there are so many places that I miss that no longer exist.

Super cool to see! Love Jazz Age Texas History

Interesting video of Corpus Christi on 1st half concentrating on the 1970 damage that hurricane Celia inflicted. I think your video would have been superior if instead of playing that 1977-1978 disco song Burn Baby Burn by The Tramps that you would have played an earlier 1970 song like Green Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf or Mama Told Me Not To Come by 3 Dog Night.

It's so crazy cuz some of the buildings are still standing today

I was 20 years old in 1974 when I worked at Lechestein's department store. I worked in the men's clothing department. ❤ what wonderful memories!😢

It looks much better back then they made it look worse by "remodeling" some buildings

It's crazy cuz some of them buildings are still standing 😅😊

It's crazy , cuz some of this structures are still standing . Born and raised in Corpus 😂

It's was an awesome place to grow up. Not so much anymore. Corpus Christi looks like Tijuana Mexico!

😮 what a flash back , some of the buildings are still standing . Thank you for the lovely memories 😊

Some of those buildings are still standing 😊

Back in the late-late 60s ,as a young teen,i was introduced to this wonderful city,and i got my first taste of the American life,by a young lady( Mary Ann) and her friend (Vergie)-and i was mesmerized by how much there was to enjoy in America. Living in another state now,i can surely say that,Corpus Christi was one of the reasons that i immigrated to America.Unfortunately change is inevitable ,but memories are constant . I am planing to visit again,i hope i will see something positive in all the changes.

That was great, if only we had time machines. My brother & I use to go down town. He built me a soapbox little car it was like 3 ft wide & maybe 4ft long with a set of two skateboard trucks in the back, in the front it had 2 platforms from roller skates on each end of a 2x4. It had a rope nailed to each end of the 2x4 & you steered it like a horse. It had like two ski poles on the back & a place to stand, he would push me all over the place in down town Corpus, the T heads, Cole park. Good times. It made me cry while watching it. We lived on 12th street across the street from Tony Bologni's. We were very poor. My mom did"t even have money for power we ran an extension cord from the next door neighbor's. My mom cooked in an electric skillet & we has a electric crock pot. We ate sweet rice with powdered milk in it, in the mornings, & beans & Spanish rice with homemade tortillas, & koolaid in the evening. I remember the winter of 1976 I was 5 yrs old & it was very cold. My grandmother bought us a little heater with a small propane tank to stay warm. Most kids have no idea how good they have today.

Apparently it was beautiful and ruined by probably too many minorities that don’t give a damn about the environment.

Wheres all the Mexicans?
