SA is going to have a Neiman Marcus and a Nordstrom??? Yayyyyy!!! Now I can move there! Of course, I'll still be loyal to the Saks with the 40-ft tall cowboy boots in the front.
(Seriously...I really do make decisions about places I could live based on the shopping.)

Foley's just seems Texan to me. Every mall here seems to have 3 or so, lol. People seemed the most friendly at foleys. The chicks in my life dont seem to be too upset. At the new mall they are building close to my house, (san antonio's new upscale mall) will have SA's first Nordstroms, SA's first Neiman Marcus and Foley's (which will probably eventually become a Macy's). 2 outta 3 isnt bad they say.
San Antonio lost its signature downtown department store in the mid to late 80's. It was called Joske's of Texas and was the department store of all departement stores. I never got to see it (closed before I moved down here) but everyone in SA still talks about it and what an impression it made and how they had a toy floor (liek DA mentioned in his post) and how magical it was at Christmas. Its a shame places like that are dissapearing daily.
