SHOPPING
If you've earned the title of "Avid Shopper Extra-ordinaire,"
you'd better pack an extra comfy pair of shoes before you head
for Dallas. In fact, with over 36 shopping malls, and hundreds
of tempting boutiques waiting for you, maybe you'd better make
that two pairs!
One of the fun places you'll want to explore is the 10 block
Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District, on Exchange
Ave and North Main Street, North Fort Worth. Here you'll find
wonderful stores like Texas Hot Stuff and the Stockyards Station,
a festive marketplace. For those of you hankering for a little
cowboy gear, head to the corner of Main & exchange, where
you'll find M.L. Leddy's Boot & Saddlery. Located here since
1941, this local hangout specializes in custom hats and boots.
Need more gear? Then walk across the street to Maverick Fine
Western Wear for even more choices of wonderful Native American
made jewelry. You'll also want to wander along Greenville Ave,
from LBJ Frwy. to downtown's Ross Ave, where you'll find unique
shops, restaurants, and a roaring night life.
What other neat shopping districts does the Metro area have
to offer? Don't miss Historic Downtown Grapevine, TX; where you
may "need" to stop for dessert at the Main Street Bread
Baking Company on Main Street to keep your energy level up, the
Travis Walk District, Travis St. and Armstrong Ave at Knox and
McKinney Streets; and the McKinney Avenue District, with its
historic electric trolleys that connect to the downtown Dallas
Arts District. Then head to West End MarketPlace, 1701 N Market
St, 214-748-4801, to explore four floors of unique stores, fun
dining at restaurants or just rest your feet a bit in one of
the nice, cool, dark theaters at the West End MarketPlace Cinema.
Antique shoppers will want to browse through Antiques-Antiques,
6010 S Kettering Ct, Dallas 972-239-6124; and Trudy Miller Antiques,
15201 Midway Road, Addison, TX, 972-490-4085. For more antique
shopping adventures drive to Grapevine and enjoy the neat stores
like A Place in Time 210 North Main Street, 817-329-0622; and
Main Street Antiques, 423 S Main Street, 817-488-3666.
If you consider anything with the Beatles on it a marvelous
antique, then you'll want to stop by Pepperland,17194 Preston
Rd, 972-612-0867 , where you'll find one of the country's largest
collections of Beatles goodies and other rock 'n roll memorabilia.
Does your face light up at the sight of a flea market? Then
get ready to beam when you see the 7,000 or so dealers showing
their wares at the First Monday Flea Market, Canton, TX, about
an hour east of Dallas on I-20, runs Friday-Sunday before the
1st Monday of every month, 8:00 a.m. to dusk, 903-567-2991. Here
you'll find antiques, tools, collectable Barbies, antique jewelry,
junk, and all sorts of other stuff you can no longer live without.
To shop like a pro at this largest flea market in the US, which
is spread out over about 300 acres, bring some comfy shoes, sun
screen, a hat, something to carry or cart your purchases in,
a pocket full of change, your negotiating skills, and patience!
For more bargains you can visit the Denton Factory Stores,
5800 N I-35 at N Loop 288, Denton, TX, 940-565-5040. Here you'll
find 30+ stores like Van Heusen, Izod, and Oneida. Or head to
Dallas, TX and the Sam
Moon Trading Company, 11826 Harry Hines Blvd, 972-484-3084,
where you will find amazing buys on accessories, jewelry, and
purses. Now just up the road from Sam Moon, you'll find the fun
to explore town of Carrollton with neat stores like A Honey of
A Deal, 1106 Main St, 972-446-5654; Heart of the Home Gallery,
1104 W Main St, 972-446-4090; the Old Craft Store, 1110 W Main
St, 972-242-9111; and Silver Star Mercantile & Co, 1102 W
Main St, 972-242-4490.
If you're tired of off price goods and crave some upscale
excitement, head to the Galleria, 13350 Dallas Pkwy, 972-702-7100.
As you stroll its four levels, you'll run onto 200 stores like
Tiffany & Company and Louis Vuitton, an ice ring, and wonderful
restaurants. For more mall shopping head to the 160+ store NorthPark
Center, 1030 Northpark Ctr, 214-363-7441; or the 165+ store Prestonwood
Town Center, 5301 Belt Line Rd., 972-980-4275. And, I'm sure
I'm a little prejudice in this area, but I just don't think a
visit to Dallas is complete without at least one visit to the
first and foremost Neiman-Marcus Department Store, 1618 Main
St, 214-741-6911.
Do you love discovering beautiful fabrics and handwork supplies?
Then you'll want to be sure and visit Best Fabrics, 10901 Harry
Hines Blvd., 214-350-2583; Calico Corners, 12370 Inwood Rd.,
972-386-5081; Bennos Button Store, 5611 W Lovers Ln, 214-352-0534;
and the Falk Fabric Outlet, 2633 McKinney Ave, 214-855-0636.
Still not found what you want? Don't worry, you've still got
to visit the Needle In A Haystack, 6911 Preston Rd., 214-528-2850;
the Needlework Patio, 3516 Amerst Ave, 214-363-0351; Orb Fabrics,
11613 N Central Expressway, 214-369-3700; and Richard Brooks
Fabrics, 6131 Luther Ln, 214-739-2772.
If you are in desperate need of more toys for your RV, and,
who isn't, then you won't want to leave town without spending
some time in Camping World, 5209 I-35 North, 800-527- 4812; 940-898-8906.
Here you will find everything from that sewer hose you've been
needing to replace to neat gadgets you didn't even know existed
but now realize you can't live without.
Is your milk and butter beginning to get pretty lonely in
the fridge? Then maybe you'd better grab your shopping list and
buy them some friends at Carnival Food Store, 1120 S Westmoreland
Rd., 214-337-6754. If you just need basic household supplies
head instead to Wal-Mart, 13307 Midway Rd., 972-980-2195; or
Target, 13131 Montfort Dr., 972-239-8161.
