Good. I hope they never get them. Just adds to the fact that Houston doesn't have to be pretentious to showcase their city. Also the fact that they are malls anyway. I do think Houston still has the potential. The income is there.

Seattle on par with Boston and Las Vegas when it comes to shopping?? HAHAH, that's hilarious. I'd compare Seattle to Pheonix or Denver when it comes to shopping. Maybe Atlanta or Houston.

After the top 4, it all starts to get pretty close together. I agree with you for the most part though.

Very true. Probably 10 years from now, the top ten may very well be much different.

Don't sell Seattle too short in this department, especially when it comes to Downtown shopping. I would say they can certainly hold their own with Boston, and they basically blow several other larger cities out of the water.

The flagship HQ's for Nordstrom is there, the Pacific Northwest Macy's flagship is there (in the beautiful former Bon Marche HQ's store), several vertical malls, ton's of street facing upscale stores, multiple cinemas, a huge historic famers market, etc.

I honestly think Seattle's retail core is 4th in the U.S., behind NY, Chicago & San Francisco - with Boston being a close #5.

I am speaking of Downtowns only here - not the total retail scene.

Houston has The Galleria and surroundings, Memorial City Mall, River Oaks and Highland Village, as well as upcoming Willowbrook.

Why are people saying Seattle??? Seattle is not as upscale as LV,NYC,MIA,AND LA. I really don't hear too much about CHI-TOWN shopping.
