Yeah it can be considered on but most people look at shopping districts to be street shopping, like rodeo dr newburry st. chicagos mile. etc those are shopping districts where you dont have to go in a mall to shop

The Galleria is a mall. Uptown Houston is like the shopping district. It just needs to get more walkable.

I actually can do the heat though. I prefer the cold weather but wouldn't mind heat. Now Phoenix heat? NAH.

My vote goes to Houston because a lot of impressive designer stores have closed in Dallas including Prada. Dallas' only upscale malls would be Highland Park and Northpark. Dallas Galleria has a lot of unleased retail space and has lost big name retailers that have relocated inside of Northpark. Dallas Victory was very promising when it first open but its a total joke now, Nove and N9ne restaurants have closed. Northpark is the only place worth shopping at in Dallas, Highland Park has very limited parking. Houston tends to get designer stores before Dallas because Houston has more international visitors (yes its very true). Houston has very rare stores such as Lenny e Cia, Churchs, and Donald J Pliner. I personally like Saks Fifth Avenue in Houston its very impressive and huge compared to others I've been to. Both cities have stores that the other does not. Dallas lacks a district like Uptown in Houston.

Dallas definately wins this one. Even my father who hates the hell out of Dallas and lives in Houston says that Dallas has the best shopping in the South outside Miami. He brings his trophy wife up here to shop every 2 months or so.
