Houston Galleria

The surrounding architecture is very futuristic looking (skyscrapers, chrome "floating" street signs, arches, & stop lights) even though the mall itself is 45 years old.

Northpark if you like an older look & modern art galleries. I personally don't like the fact there are so many surface lots around the mall & they're in much needed repair. Houston's Galleria is almost all new or recently renovated multi-level (6-7 level) parking garages.

NorthPark has a good food court, the mall didn't have a food court until the mall was expanded.

do you have a list on hand? I was not able to google it. Having Macy's or Dillards is one thing, but what you going to do when you got a car full of rascals and need to fill up their bellys?

Boy, you best be gettin on one them horses goin through them drive throughs in one them big malls. Now imma tell you how it be done down here in the lone stah state, you get on one them horses 'ya heard? you go to one them malls then you park your horse outside in one them mall ranches, you walk into the big room with airconditioning, then you give your 10 gallon hat to the man at the door. He gonna lock it up just nice while you go shop, then you go to one them foot court things, after that you choose the place with the best biscuits cause boy them biscuits with one them golden ranch dipping sauce be like a ho down in your mouth. Now after all that you go to one them MickyD's and do an all you can eat buffet for less than $1.

Then at the end of your day you get on your horse and ride till you cant see the sun no moh. Yippie yippie yeee hawwww!!

So now that I explained to you what shopping in a mall here is like? I bet you can't even wait to get a horse of your own and try it out, huh?

ROFL, aren't stereotypes fun everyone?
