![]() When I read stuff like the Dallas Galleria is a "cheap knock off" I know that this can only be written by someone intent on propagandizing. Did they ever perform a facelift on the old girl? That thread is three years old, so the management has probably had time to slap some paint on it. #16 All the Galleria needs is a nice facelift remodel - like the one that the Dallas Galleria (which is newer than ours in the base case) got recently. Though some Houstonians have a different take. "I'm not getting stuck in all that traffic." So I had to go by myself and yes, the traffic was horrendous, but it was worth it. As hard as I tried to convince him to go with me, he would not be swayed. I really wanted to see the decorations at the Galleria. It's close enough to the loop to be associated with the Everything-worth-anything-is-ITL mentality that is Houston.Ī few years ago I was in Houston visiting a buddy, who told me the last time he visited that he was thinking of going in an entirely different, laid-back direction: San Antonio. I know your Galleria is 1,000 feet outside the loop. Its because Dallas' Galleria is a cheap knock off of Houston's with an abandoned Ford (or was is Chevy) dealership in the front. ![]() Notice I stressed The in every one of my sentences. That right there tells me you know nothing about Houston. You for some strange reason keep saying The Galleria is inside of the Loop. Going to The Galleria is like stepping into the United Nations.Ĥ. Hell the whole area of SW Houston as a whole is EXTREMELY diverse. Fort Bend County (Sugar Land) is the most diverse county in all of Texas. In fact, Houston is the only major city where one can have a 300-900' skyscraper literally sprouting up out of their backyards like a beanstalk in the sky.ģ. Skyscraper stretch from Galveston Island to The Woodlands, Katy to Clear Lake, & everything in between. Luxury shopping is had outside of the loop at the middle-middle upper class Memorial City Mall as well as The Galleria.Ģ. I remember the parking lot being rather empty many times.ġ. ![]() I heard that Rice wasn't doing very well and the one on Fountain View and San Felipe was supposed to close. The Woodlands is a great foodie town with their own food and wine festival, a high end HEB Market with CM items, Trader Joes, Goodwoods British Market, Oil & Vinegar, and the local fav high end market with bistro Hubbell & Hudson. The Fresh Market choose Houston as their entry market into Texas with more stores being planned in Clear Lake and other areas. The Tanglewood store is still open while the other 4 have been renovated and transformed to The Fresh Market, which is NC's answer to Central Market. There were 5 stores in the chichi areas of Bellaire, Memorial, River Oaks, Tanglewood and Uptown. Houston also has a great local luxury market grocery chain called Rice Epicurean Market which has been here for decades. The Houston flagship CM is in River Oaks naturally. ![]() Houston metro has over 25 HEB stores, with 10 of these being HEB Markets with high end items and cheeses like CM and a CM on the go section. I thought The Woodlands was supposed to be upscale. I can get that at any of the five Central Market locations in Dallas-Fort Worth. Whether I am at home, at work, at my parent's place, or at my sister's and her husband's, I always want to know I am no more than 20 minutes away from hand-sliced Italian prosciutto, fingerling potatoes, organic pears, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and hand-rolled premium sushi, as well as the best selection of wine and beer in the area.
