There was a TG&Y in the Broadmoor Shopping Center, between Andrew’s Rexall Drugs and A&P. Spent countless hours in there.

Correction - the A&P was next to the drug store and TG&Y next to the A&P.

45 records, Matchbox Cars (when they were made in England and not cheap Chinese crap), and model cars and airplanes.

Saw what ended up being my first wife when I passed in the parking lot and she was staring back at me. Went inside to flirt, pretended to be looking for a watch. Ended up buying a watch I had no use for, from her. Dated and ended up married, all from window shopping.

What about Service Merchandise did BR have those?


Houma had one near Southland Mall across from Sears. When MLK started popping, Service Merchandise moved to MLK across from Walmart.

After it closed, it sat vacant for a few years then Bed Bath and Beyond moved in after it was subdivided.

Best Buy took the other portion and the last portion went to Texas Roadhouse.


When Bed Bath and Beyond closed, Cavenders moved it.

Every time I think of Bed Bath and Beyond, I would ask them where the Beyond section was.
