Photos of the old Shopping Center in January, 1952
These photos come from a defunct newspaper called The Fort Bend Reporter. It devoted its inaugural edition to the opening of the Sugar Land Shopping Center in January, 1952. The first photo shows the drug store in its original configuration. (It was remodeled several times over the years.) The soda fountain is in the back and to the right. The camera is angled toward the east wall where the prescription drug counter was. Off to the right (out of view) were the cosmetics counter, office supplies, magazines and comic books!
This second photo shows the front wall of the dry goods store. The entrance to the super market was just outside the front door on the left. I think there was a second front door into the dry goods store on the right - just outside the camera's view.
