THE STORE THAT CHANGED US:
SAYING GOODBYE TO THE DOWNTOWN DALLAS LANDMARK KNOWN AS NEIMAN MARCUS
I was saddened to learn that Neiman Marcus, the flagship store in Downtown Dallas, closed its doors for the final time, earlier this week. It first opened in 1914. It closed down for good on Sept. 30, 2026.
