CityScope History

In the 1980's, owner Ingrid Kast Fuller, was the Political SIG SysOp for CompuServe which was bought by AOL.

In 1983, she started CityScope Bulletin Board System (CityScope BBS) on a Radio Shack Tandy Model 4 and started in a converted garage. The BBS ran for approximately 10-11 years. She also decided to use CityScope name for the new business.

Owner, Ingrid Kast Fuller, officially started the company December 31st, 1984 under the name CityScope Computer Services. We changed the name to CityScope Net in 1995.

List of BBS's from the past

 

CityScope had three stores on Southmore Avenue in Pasadena, Texas from 1990 to 1999.

In 1990, we opened the store for a short period of time across from Sears on Southmore Avenue (no photo shown below). Then, went back to work for the family business after the death of her father at Kast Fabrics Inc.

From 1992 to 1995, we re-opened CityScope at 123 W Southmore Ave. and sold new and used computers, consignments, computer software, books and supplies, fascimile machines and fax paper.

In 1995, the company was growing and we needed more retail space, so we moved in the same strip center to a larger store. On June 30th, 1995, we started CityScope Net, an Internet Service Provider, providing 56K/ISDN dialup services, web design and hosting. We added more hardware inventory and computer software. We started Microsoft Windows and DOS classes at this location too. When the property was sold in 1999 to Walgreens; we had to move. So we moved to the south side of Pasadena to 3910 Fairmont Parkway.

At the Fairmont Parkway store, we sold cell phones from Voicestream (now T-Mobile) along with computer systems, supplies, repair services and Internet access. At this location, we started selling DSL services for a couple of years.

In 2001, we decided to focus more on Internet services and moved out of this location.

Currently, we continue custom web design, hosting, digital marketing, SEO, and social media services. We provide Remote PC services for anyone in the United States (with a CityScope Net account setup). We help clients locally with computer repair, security software and networking.

Our computer drop-off center is at our CityScope Net Affiliate Store (Mail Boxes Plus) at 4808 Fairmont Parkway.

Our company-owned Internet servers are located at our downtown Houston co-location center at 1301 Fannin, Houston, TX.
