Never fear. They are reopening the store after updating it due to the changing demographics of texas. The new store will be called “Neiman Mohammed”

Thank you for making the effort to write this.
I only knew Neimans for the one at the Galleria in Houston.
I would go there to study how the best women's clothes were made, and I would buy a few things on sale.
Why Neiman's was important to me: it helped me keep my sanity when I was running a major project in Houston while my Father was dying of cancer in Virginia. I was commuting to VA every other weekend and my stress levels were out of sight.
Every Thursday afternoon, after work, I'd go to Neimans for a one hour facial in their beauty salon. I could go there, be pampered in total peaceful surroundings. I will always be thankful that that one hour and the lovely anticipation of it kept me going for moths on end.

This was all very weird but I felt it. it made me miss my grandmother. RIP, SFR. I used to go to NM-Houston (funny how Dallas can’t stop talking about Houston) every Friday in the summer with my grandmother. She’d go to the beauty parlor and then we’d grab lunch at the cafe. I got to bring my Gameboy, and my ‘92 dream team card collection. Her gay hairdresser of over 40 years became part of the family, attended birthdays, funerals and weddings. The 90s were a hell of a time.

Dallas certainly is more pretentious than Houston, that's why I like it here much better. That being said, the wife and I traditionally go to Dallas every year early December to do some shopping and N.M. was always one of our stops. It was a neat place; a museum to finer things. Honestly I don't know if we return and just stick to the Galleria in Houston this year.
It is a landmark of a bygone era; when quality craftsmanship were revered and attainable with determination and prudent savings. But today neither of those qualities are valued, sadly.

My ex-mother-in-law lives in Dallas and would sometimes shop there and her pet name for that store was "Needless Markups".
That's all I've got since I never set foot inside any of their stores.

While I never visited this store, I enjoyed your trip down memory lane and reflection on today's world vs yesteryear.
I especially enjoyed this quote...

It was in the Dallas store that I was first introduced to the chicken broth and popovers of the Zodiac Room, a combination that remains, in my mind, almost impossibly good.
Ahh yes. Was always so good. We went every year for Christmas.

Comment how you will on this post, but if you are of a certain age or older (I'm in my late 50's) there is something about a premium department store in a downtown area that is a distinguishing mark for the world's great cities. Hate to see it go for that reason.

The closing of the flagship Neiman Marcus in Dallas
This is what happens when unchecked immigration descends upon a city. A flood of H1Bs has now resulted in the closing of an American institution, while cultural misfits shop at Asia Boutique, Bombay Sari Place, Manayavar, Ngohzi's Fashion, Pahiran Fashions, Desi Threads Boutique, Mishal Studio, Vgni Boutique, Bishwo Gautam, etc
I cant wait for the moving post on here from FriscoSMU detailing the emotional closing of some or all of the above listed stores

I cannot understand spending thousands on the manufactured simulacra of antiquity at Arhaus or Pottery Barn when actual antique furniture, made by people who expected it to outlive them, can sometimes be purchased for a fraction of the price.
As I finished reading your post this morning, it reminded me of the excitement I get every time I visit The Bank on Felicity St. You're an incredibly gifted writer and I thoroughly enjoy reading your post.
I have a post request:
Surprise us one day with a trip down memory lane to The Bank.

I perfectly understand your impactful appreciation for Neiman Marcus. Your above quote applies to many dying memories of places now gone, such as The Donut Shop, City Drug Store, Grandpa's Restaurant, Globe Drug Store, and Royal Pharmacy. Each of these had its own personality.

I’ve never been in or bought anything from this place. Plus, that’s a lot of words that I won’t read. Sorry to hear that or congratulations. Which Evers.
This is why Walmart is such a giant, it meets many people’s every need.

Neiman Marcus in Dallas
Is that the northpark or galleria location?
I wondered why it looked like it did.
They used to sell his and her airplanes and sports cars.

I get it. I hate to see things that mean something to me disappear into the past. Nostalgic sentimentality gets stronger as I get older.
