Ok, Hecht's is going to become a MAcy's, not Dillard's, my bad.

Here's the article. But, you have to be a registered user to access it.

I see you left off the Walmart dollars! :rofl::P

That's because they probably couldnt fit on the page.

Hey can anyone tell me about Cowboy Syds? It appears to be a new restaurant in Newport News started by the same guy who use to run the Dumbwaiter in Downtown Norfolk. I would love to go there for brunch on my way to Norfolk this weekend.

I have never eaten there myself but have seen it featured in Portfolio magazine.

Make sure you have reservations. It is not very big and I believe they don't take walk-ins, however I might be wrong. It is suppose to be very good from what I'm told. It is located in the port warwick section of newport news. There is also a place called schlesingers in port warwick of wich i have been to. Very nice, great food. Upscale though, plan on plopping down 30 bucks a meal. Of course that goes for either restaurant.

It's a new American cuisine restaurant. Gourmet food and food not so gourmet. It has awesome outdoor seating in the heart of Styron Square, and above it are residential balconies garnished with ivy and outdoor patio wear. It is normally busy on weekends. Cowboy Sids and Schleshingers or whatever are kinda pricey. Then there is a Tapas restaurant there also with late-night music and a club/bar atmosphere. Check it out. I hear a food market is on its way to Port Warwick with outdoor stands. Fresh fruit and flowers a short walk from ones home. Port Warwick will have a lot to offer cityfolk looking to move to Hampton Roads especially with talks of light rail and a pedestrian-friendly roundabout between it and City Center.

It is kind of a shame that Macys will be so common. They will quickly lose what is left of their exclusive name.

Macy's is already one of the largest chains without the conversion of MayCo (Hectht's, Strawbridge's, Rob-May) stores to the Macy's nameplate. Macy's has almost as many stores as Dillard's. About 3 years ago when Federated (parent of Macy's and Bloomingdale's) was looking to expand its empire it took a look at Dillard's before settling on acquiring MayCo. In terms of national brand eclusivity, there are only Neimen-Marcus, Sak's, and Bloomingdale's. Macy's and Nordstrom are on a mission to become large upscale brands, basically the Wal-mart and Target of the upper-class. Dillard's could also join those two but it is a mismanaged company.

Thanks for info! I just got back from Norfolk and was able to have brunch at Cowboy Syds at Port Warwick. Must say I was very impressed with the layout of the development. I really enjoyed the little town square and the interesting statues.

We had no problem getting seating at Cowboy Syds and I must say the salmon steak that I had was wonderful. I definately look forward to going back.

A major announcement will be made on December 21st which will have a significant impact on the Hampton Roads area (regarding a large corporation's expansion).

I wonder if symatec, furgesson, or the shipyard is expanding. One question is it a tech company? I know you can't say cause if you could you would have.

Well, I can assume it will be in NN since he's posting in the NN thread :P . It would be great if this large corporate headquarters came to city center. :whistling:
