Beechnut St, Alief

This is a lovely street to visit and is amazing if you are able to live anywhere near it. That is because this street could be considered to be Houston's version of New York's famous fifth avenue. It is fun to windowshop but if you intend on taking anything home with you, you better do a whole lot of overtime or have a lot of money already.
But who said the price of beauty was cheap? If you want to enjoy a great day of couture, exquisite dining, and a great atmosphere, make sure to visit Beechnut street. Just make sure you come with your savings.

I love Houston but it is a very expensive place to visit, and I can only imagine it's an expensive place to live. It's a city full of rich oil people, after all. I can only look at so many $5000.00 handbags on the fancy shopping streets before I go crazy, though, so even though I have fun looking at the fancy Galleria shops, I prefer the bargain neighborhoods, which also have the bonus of being more interesting, too.

Way, way, way further down the street from the Galleria is the Meyerland Shopping Plaza at Beechnut Street... which is actually more my kind of street since I love bargains. All in a row here there is a Ross Store and a Target and a 99 Cents Only... and a giant bookstore for the geeky boyfriend!
