As many of us rush hurriedly on a regular basis to our desired destination at Houston’s Galleria, we may be unaware of all of the goings on that are happening as we speak, at this Number One shopping mecca for most Houstonians and visitors, alike. Well, I am one that is guilty as charged! It took a moment for me to step back and take a look at all of the goings on there…lots of updates, through renovations, expansions, and adding lots of sparkle. In some cases, new tenants are also making quite a splash as they arrive. It is these updates that are happening or soon to happen that maintains this spot as one of the primo shopping locations in the country!
