La Plaza Mall has grown, but for me it's less a place to shop and more a place to walk with air…read moreconditioning and observe with amazement and wonder the diverse crowd of humanity and also the evolved mall creatures with rainbow hair and pieces of metal sticking out of their tongues. Unless you're really into paying large amounts of money for the privilege of advertising for a company by wearing clothing covered with their logo (so others know you paid $800 for your sneakers), or cheap Chinese imported fad stuff, you may want to use the entrance that leads directly into the anchor store you want to shop. Thank God, there is still a JC Penny, Dillard's and Macy's and a few decent places to eat. Those who are more adventurous can enter the vortex that is the mall where there are other stores like Old Navy, Abercrombie & Fitch, Build a Bear Workshop, Torrid, Hot Topic, Sephora, Bath & Body, Victoria's (not so) Secret, Van's, Boot Jack, and a few chain jewelry stores like Zales, Kay, and Reed's. Naturally (or unnaturally) there is also a labyrinth of kiosks and other smaller stores all competing for your attention and money. You'll find people trying to spray you with fragrances, straighten or curl your hair, fit you with a hair piece, put some new glitter make-up on your face, or polish your shoes for free ...only to try to pressure you into buying their way over-priced shoe polishing kit or at least give them a big tip. Can you tell I'm not really into malls? I had not been in over a year. I was going to the bank, but discovered it doesn't open till 11 AM, so I could drive somewhere else or walk around for 25 minutes. I chose the latter as walking is good exercise. The Northside newer expansion of the mall has some good restaurants like Texas de Brazil and Yard House. Of course you can always go to the food court and eat a large pizza sized cookie or some kind of fast food while trying to pretend you don't mind the whining children and their parents who ignore them. Thankfully, when I went it was a weekday morning and not many mall creatures were out. The parking garage was mostly empty. But I saw enough that I know I do not want to return during the Christmas shopping season. If you happen to be a mall creature, I wish you well, and a long happy life. Please don't take it personal if I do a double take when I see you made up as an Anime character doll complete with special pupil-enhancing contact lenses, or sporting subdermal implanted Vulcan-style bumps or a third eye tattooed on your forehead. My reaction is involuntary and partly out of shock. I've never had a piercing except for my annual flu shot.

I came to Macy's during a crowded Saturday with the intention of picking something up at the Chanel…read morecounter and making a quick exit to avoid the masses but was enticed to look at some clothes in the Ralph Lauren and Tommy section by the cute tops in the summer sales sections. I had also received some coupons in the mail and thought, "Why not?" I was able to find some good deals on Tommy jeans and some nice Ralph Lauren Polo shirts as well as some blouses for work. As I headed to the check out, I was already thinking, the coupons will probably not go through and I might have to make some of my purchases online. Macy's coupons are a hit or miss because they have so many exclusions and at some counters, a sales associate told me they make sure the coupons don't go trough because all their items are exclusions. As a result, I usually don't bother unless I happen to be there for another reason. I was pleasantly surprised this time when a sales associate named Yolanda Perez helped me figure out how to make the most of my coupons and it turned my good deals into some really great ones. I truly hope Macy's keeps hiring sales associates who are friendly and helpful like Yolanda. Having that help keeps me at the brick and mortar store instead of shopping online. I really want to support RGV business but if I can buy a $50 pair of shoes for $22 on Macy's online, how can I resist? Forget about online shopping, bring your coupons and enjoy the excellent service. As an added plus, there is ample parking, the store is nice and clean, and the Chanel counter kicks butt. Good job Macy's!

On the evening of November 8, 2025 my family and I went to McAllen's La Plaza mall to start getting…read moresome ideas about Christmas presents and otherwise enjoy ourselves. Unfortunately, our final store visit for the evening rather ruined the festive mood. We had parked on the Dillards end of the mall to use the nice lighted parking garage, as we knew that we would be leaving after dark. My son had noticed some jackets that he thought were truly wild ("just like Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2!") over near the bathrooms, and he wanted me to see what they looked like so we made the trip across the store before we left the building so that I might get a look at them. He led us to a display of Chubbies brand clothing with an iridescent puffer jacket and a sequin blazer, both of which he tried on and we all agreed they were pretty wild, but he looked really good in the blazer. While this was happening, I took a couple of pictures. I did not notice the man in the suit with the tag "manager" on his shirt approaching from behind me until he was stopping us from trying on the jacket accused us of "playing" and effectively chased us out of the store. I have not been this insulted in a very long time, and I will be sharing with my friends what events transpired- being chased off for trying on a blazer in a department store. I hope very much that this particular manager receives some training to rectify this issue before he chases off other potential customers. As for me, I will be finding this blazer online through the Chubbies brand website.

This place is so hit or miss! Half the time I go in here, they treat me like a common criminal…read more They follow you around like vultures as if you're about to steal something and run. Being young does not mean that I cannot afford the things in your store! The other half of the time (I'm guessing at the end of each month when commission is getting important) the salespeople are falling over each other trying to get you to buy something. I understand that commission jobs don't have a great base salary, but I just cannot shop comfortably with you breathing down my neck--no matter how helpful you're trying to be! That being said, they have a lot of brand name things everywhere. At times, I feel like some are questionable items (I definitely saw some shoes in the sale rack that did not look to be authentic, but I'm not one to take that risk at that cost) but in general it looks on the level. They are an authorized MontBlanc dealer, though their selection is pretty minimal. They carry major purse brands (though they focused mostly on Juicy Couture) and have plenty of shoes to look at. The men's section is pretty extensive and would be a great place to get a suit. I love the make-up section with all the diversity in brands. In the end, I never have a comfortable shopping experience there. Either I feel like I'm being profiled or I feel guilty because some poor, old lady won't get my commission because I'm rushing to get away from her horrible sales tactic. If you're a name brands whore, these two things would be easy to overlook and get your fix.
