Oh add YSL to the Dallas list. it is opening this year.

Some of the stores mentioned on the Houston list. didnt quite cut it here in Dallas and closed. I guess the two cities have different tastes.
And i'm pretty sure the French Connection will be closing in Houston. They are closing mostly all of their stores in the U.S.

I'm 100% sure your wrong about French Connection, the store will be one of only 6 left after it closes more than half its US stores. Isn't that awesome!? Even if YSL does open why would you add it to the "list" Houston has one, Houston has had it for years .. c'mon buddy get with the program.

Dallas is the best shopping city in the South outside of Miami. It was also ranked the 5th fashion capital of the North America after NYC, LA, Miami, and Las Vegas. It ranked 31st in the world for fashion.

There is also Rice Village and Highland Village in Houston. Also, Memorial City Mall and The Woodlands Mall are getting more upscale offerings. Oh, and Galleria Dallas is starting to lose its luster. It's almost no different than Memorial City Mall in Houston now.

Shops at Willow Bend? The mall that has, since its opening, been suffering from low occupancy?

God forbid Houstonians could ever concede that Dallas might be better at one thing.

Two things Dallas does better than Houston:

1) Upscale shopping
2) Fashion

Lord knows there are things that Houston does better too.

Willowbend and Galleria should not even be mention with NorthPark and Highland Park. Willowbend has not been relevant since it opened, and the Galleria has a Louis Vuitton and Saks, and that's not enough to say its super upscale.

Who cares if its in a mall or not? A mall is actually considered more density because you can fit more stores, restaurants and amenities into a smaller space. I thought density is what got northerners rocks off? I dont care if its in a mall or on a street upscale is upscale. I think its just an excuse for people to crack on the south and try to make it look inferior but the funny thing is every city across this country has malls. Lucky for the north the whole urban lifestyle is back in style because for all of those decades prior it was considered out dated and major city centers were in decline and sunbelt cities were growing with the latest trends and to this day they are too because there is a lot of urban infill going into these cities. So please get over the pretentiousness, the more everyone screams "OMG its a mall" the less we care. There is no argument there, different regions, different climates, different styles.
