SHOPPING IN DALLAS
MCAA Ladies, Something Special and Exciting for You
When you're in Dallas for the MCAA Conference, take a leisurely stroll through closed malls where the passing parade of people is a major spectator sport. Discover unsuspected treasures amid the charming confines of European-like surroundings. Stand in awe before a store whose name instantly means elegance around the globe.
That is what shopping in Dallas is all about-the unexpected, the exciting, the same feeling as a wide-eyed child has on Christmas morning. It is as if Santa left most of his bags of goodies on Dallas' hearth, for there is every bit that much to see, explore and buy in Dallas.
The best place to start shopping, of course, is downtown. Here are the major department stores- Neiman-Marcus. Sanger-Harris and Titche's, all of which have suburban branches. Downtown also offers 20 women's apparel shops, 19 men's apparel shops, 34 shoe stores. 143 eating places and seven theaters. A below-ground pedestrian walkway system called "The Tunnel" links downtown office buildings, banking facilities, restaurants, shops and parking. In between shopping expeditions, there is time to relish the city's new, beautiful open park. Thanks-Giving Square, a garden with trees, fountains, a lofty bell tower and a chapel.
Spread out around the city like spokes on a wheel are several enormously popular enclosed shopping malls, NorthPark (a spectacular center filled with
Olla Podrida means "all in the pot," and this Olla Podrida is definitely a place that lives up to its name. Located in an old barn in North Dallas, it is an artist's paradise of paintings and photographs, weaving, pottery, brass, greenery, leather, jewelry, and whatever-you-will.
fountains, plants, people and bargains), Big Town, Town East, Valley View and Red Bird, each with its own distinctive personality and cornucopia of merchandise.
Antique buffs will find browsing and buying a joy on McKinney Avenue, Sale Street, and many other nearby locales where shops are located in old homes with histories of their own. Many of the avenue's best finds are within walking distance of downtown.
Happy hunting! See you in Dallas.
