What fun to read this thread! I moved to Houston in 1968 (my senior year at "then" Robert E. Lee High School) and my Mom worked at Joskes Post Oak. She got me a temporary job there and I ended up staying almost 5 years. Whenever I was home from college, Mrs. Ginsmer would let me work. I remember Sakowitz well though we rarely bought much. I can't remember if the Neiman's was built that year or already there, but I know there was no Galleria! Neiman's had a special sale and I bought a full length khaki trench coat for 36$!!! I still have that thing after 40 years and it still looks great. I used to drape it over chairs so the label would show! What was on the other corner? Was it a Weingartens? I hat to go to that area now; traffic is terrible and prices are atrocious. Way back when I first worked at Joskes we were restricted to navy, black, grey, and burgundy dresses and suits. Times have sure changed!!
