arche_757 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I agree - there is plenty of room around the area for an arthouse theatre or even a smaller AMC or Cinemark with ~8 screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 The nice thing about Barney's is that they don't carry the same old stuff you see in all of the other high-end shops like Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom. They tend to showcase independent artists/designers or small companies that produce high quality goods, often from American companies.

lsr78 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 So a Borders and Barnes&Noble basically right across the street from each other? I pity the B Daltons.FYI, B.Daltons = Barnes & NobleWaldenbooks = Borders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenoaksguy Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I believe this is the second time around for Barney's at the Galleria. They had a store next to Neiman Marcus several years ago (not sure what is there now) and closed it. Good to see them coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I agree - there is plenty of room around the area for an arthouse theatre or even a smaller AMC or Cinemark with ~8 screens.There was a theater on Augusta. I dont recall the reason it closed but surely lack of sales was probably one.I really dont mind driving from the Galleria to West Oaks to goto the Drafthouse. If an AMC or Cinemark opened in the Galleria area it wouldnt appeal to me. There's a theater on Dunvale, thats close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garage parking and vertical design.You must like that place b/c that is the second time you mentioned it on two differnet topics. just an observation. I really like that place too! I am there just about every weekend when the movies being realeased at the time are good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I like it. I find it's very convenient. I only go on sunday afternoons with friends for the cheaper price. I find that no move is worth more than the $6.50 matinee price. Just my opinion. I also eat before or after the movies. The strip center next the theatre has some good restraunts.

htowndude Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 They just added a Harlon's to that theater which make it an over all better place to go. They are a bit expensive.I go to the movies alot and they have have raised thier prices atleast 3 times in the 6 to 8 months. It cost like 8 plus for a regular and 7.25 i think for a student tix.

HtownKid Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 That is cool now only if Dolce & Gabbana will give the Galleria another chance.Co-Op is smaller than the Mainline Barney's New York Deptartment store correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasboy Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Did you used to shop at Dolce & Gabbana?Even if he or she didn't, the market for places like those in Houston is higher than it has ever been and to have the only one in Texas again would be great for Texas residents and our wealthy neighbors in Latin America. I know it is only one store, but anything to bring more money into the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the big deal if I want one in Houston?No deal at all if you actually shop there. I find it frustrating to constantly hear people whine about what Houston doesn't have. It never fails that when we do get what it is that they were whining about - they still don't go or utilize it. What stores you have in your malls is not a bragging right.

WesternGulf Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 What stores you have in your malls is not a bragging right.I agree. Thankfully the day of the mall is dead. I cannot even think about when the last mall was constructed outside of Mall at Millenia in Orlando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestGrayGuy Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 What is going in that Lord & Taylor expansion at the Galleria, I heard new stores were coming in? Anyone know which ones?I work in the Galleria and there is a sign on the outside of the old Lord and Taylor entrance. It says there will be a few stores. The ones I remember include a Borders and a Del Frisco's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls1202 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Does this mean the plan to convert it into a mixed use apartment/retail is no longer on the table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 The Borders/Del Friscos expansion is into the former Lord & Taylor space. I think the idea about apartments was being floated for the Macys space in the Galleria 3, assuming Macys is closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea about apartments was being floated for the Macys space in the Galleria 3, assuming Macys is closed.That sounds like good news. I'm glad the Lord & Taylor project is progressing. Not only do I hope Macy's goes through with the apartment idea at the former Macy's, but I also hope that in that area of the mall at least that theres a few 24-hour retail in there (newsstands, a small food court or something). I'm also hoping for a movie theatre in that area too.But at the same time, I'm rooting for a Galleria 6 to come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mls1202 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'm hoping that the Borders will be accessible from the outside and will go far to alleviating the "bunker" look of the Galleria. A nice multi-story glass facade will give the Galleria a lot of curb appeal from Westheimer. I like the renovation of the inside, but I'm hoping that something can be done to the exterior. That intersection is extremely important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakuzaIce Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 But at the same time, I'm rooting for a Galleria 6 to come up.What about Galleria 5?But on topic (kind of), does anyone know the odds of Macy's becoming a residential tower?

Houston19514 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'm still hoping Federated will wake up and realize they need to have at least one Bloomingdale's in this market and will convert the Macy's building into a Bloomingdale's (or the Foley's building, I don't care...)
