Anyone notice how threads lately turn into Dallas vs. Houston vs. Atlanta? *yawn*

^Exactly. Actually, Barney's has been ready a couple of times to pull the trigger on a new anchor store at Phipps. Their recent bankruptcy filing delayed any expansion for a while, and now with the economy, who knows what they'll do.

They do have a pretty big Barney's Co-op at Phipps, but it's just not the same.

As far as NM in Atlanta, while it's true there is only one, it's huge. They actually just wrapped up a 3 story, 78,000 sq ft expansion. The expansion alone is larger than many of their newer stores.

It's getting to be repetitious and boring. I'm sure others think so too.

Well why talk about NYC and LA when they are obviously the clear winners? I don't even understand why they were even put in the poll.

But LA and Chicago are close in the poll, so I figured there'd be more people talking about the two.

Is that store bigger than the Neiman Marcus in Downtown Dallas?

Pictures of the Dallas Neiman Marcus




How it looked before the ugly expansions.

^No, not by a long shot. That is, if they are utilizing the entire building. The Atlanta store is the 5th or 6th largest I think. It looks a little larger than the original, unexpanded pic you posted.
